WE OFFER DIRECT INSURANCE BILLING.
Automobile accidents can cause a variety of personal injuries from minor to serious. The majority of people involved in car accidents suffer mainly from traumatic impacts, cuts, tears and more. Some of the most common injuries that are associated with auto accidents are:
- Soft tissue injuries: this is damage done to the body’s connective tissue (the muscles, ligaments and tendons). A prime example of this type of injury is whiplash – where the muscles and ligaments in the neck and head are stretched because of sudden movements upon collision.
- Scrapes and cuts: when the car collides with another vehicle or object, any loose objects in the car become projectiles. This can include cell phones, coffee cups, purses, eyeglasses etc. These items can hit your body and cause scrapes and cuts – which are usually very minor. Another thing that might cause a scrape or cut is the deployment of the airbag.
- Head injuries: this type of injury can be minor to quite severe. If a car suddenly collides with another vehicle or object, this can cause the heads of the car occupants to experience sudden movement, and cause impact with a window or steering wheel – which can lead to bumps and bruising, or internal bleeding depending on the severity of the impact.
- Fractures: whenever there is any traumatic impact to the body, there is always a risk of broken bones – broken arms, broken legs etc. A chiropractor/physiotherapist will be able to help recover functionality of the broken limb after the bone has been healed.

WHIPLASH AND AUTO ACCIDENTS
Most people associate whiplash with a minor neck ache, but in reality, whiplash can be very serious – especially if it continues untreated. If left unattended, it could lead to a good deal of worsening issues such as chronic neck pain and brain injury.
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, don’t assume that you are not injured simply because you have not felt the symptoms. Some signs of whiplash can occur later, and by the time it has been discovered, more permanent damage may have manifested. It is important to have all bases covered to ensure that if you do have whiplash, it gets treated accordingly.
Whiplash injuries are not as simple as a broken bone, they involve a more complicated combination of the nervous system, muscle joints and connective tissue that can be difficult to diagnose.
In order to fully understand how whiplash can affect your life after an auto accident, here are some things to know.
