Bayview District Car Accident Injuries
Head Injuries
Head injury is a general term used to describe trauma to the scalp, skull or brain. Head injuries are classified as either open or closed. When an object has penetrated the scalp and skull, a head injury is classified as open. A closed head injury means an object struck the victim, but the object did not penetrate the scalp or skull. Head injuries, also called traumatic brain injuries, include concussions, contusions, hematomas, hemorrhages, and aneurysms.
Spinal cord injuries
Spinal cord injuries damage the spinal cord, which can result in loss of motor (ability to control movement) functions and sensory (feeling) functions. Spinal cord injuries are classified as complete and incomplete. If a victim has lost all motor and sensory functions below the point of the affected area, the injury is complete. A victim who has some motor and sensory functions below the affected area has an incomplete spinal cord injury.
Whiplash
Whiplash, or neck pain, is injury to the soft tissues of the neck. Whiplash is the result of force applied to the neck and is usually caused by force created in a traumatic accident, like a car accident. Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, swelling, muscle spasms, headaches and shooting pain. Sustaining a whiplash can result in serious injuries for the victim, so it important that a medical professional be seen immediately following a car accident.
Additional car accident injuries include lacerations, broken bones, bruises, sprains, coma, burns, disfigurement, infection and death.
