A wide range of physical injuries can occur during a car accident. Physical impairment, disability, and permanent pain are a few types of traumatic injuries that can occur during a car accident. Some injuries can be fatal, at once or over time. As skilled personal injury attorneys we can help victims secure compensation for their injuries.

Understanding exactly how an injury occurred is the most logical place to start. Car crashes exert unnatural and extreme forces that the body will endure. Even a vehicle traveling at low-speed accident can contort or jolt the body with extreme force.

For example, in a crash your body may:

• Whip back and forth violently.
• Collide with the steering wheel, dashboard, frame, or other hard surfaces within your vehicle.
• Extend, compress, bend, or twist into unnatural positions.
• Get trapped inside, crushed, or pinned under your vehicle.
• Be punctured by sharp edges, scraped, or sliced.
• Sustain chemical burns from engine fluids or gasoline.
• Be displaced from the vehicle entirely.

The list could continue. There are an unlimited number of ways you as a car crash victim can be injured during an accident. Car crashes lead to unpredictable impact and physical injuries.
