The type of injury and the severity of the injuries you sustain in a car accident are dependent upon a number of factors. Some of these include:
- Whether or not a seatbelt was worn.
- Where the car was hit (rear, front or side).
- The direction the occupants were facing at the time of the accident.
- Whether or not the occupants had their head or body turned during the accident.
- Whether it was a low-speed or high-speed collision.
- Whether or not the car had airbags.
Generally speaking, there are two categories of injuries that are caused by car accidents: impact injuries and penetrating injuries. Impact injuries are caused when part of the body hits a part of the car’s interior, such as the knee hitting the dashboard or the head hitting a side window. Penetrating injuries are cuts or scrapes, such as those caused by shattered glass or loose objects flying around inside the car.
