Home / Auto Accidents
Injuries suffered by drivers, passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians range from minor to catastrophic injuries as well as even fatalities. Generally, injuries from getting hit by a car fall into two categories
Impact injuries; and
Penetrating injuries: a result from objects that penetrate an individual’s body (e.g., shattered glass or any loose objects from a truck’s cargo). Impact injuries, on the other hand, occur when an individual’s body strikes part of the vehicle (e.g., hitting a safety restraint such as a seatbelt or airbag or any structure of the car such as its steering wheel, windshield, dashboard, etc.
A car crash can lead to serious injury to any part of the body. However, certain injuries occur more often than others.
