  1. 5 Common Injuries After a Rear-End Accident

  2. “ If you have ever been involved in a car accident, you know how common it is for someone to be injured. Even relatively minor rear-end collisions can cause serious, long-term injuries. Some of the most common injuries following a rear-end accident are set out below.

  3. Whiplash This type of injury happens when the car is thrust forward in a rear-end accident. Your body stays in the same position and likely becomes rigid. Due to the car’s movement and your body’s tense nature, you experience whiplash. Your neck may ache, along with other muscles in your body.

  4. Broken Bones Depending on the severity of the rear-end collision, a passenger can end up breaking a bone or two. No matter where the passenger is sitting in the car, there are plenty of areas in which bones can come into contact with parts of the vehicle, causing the bones to fracture or break. This is one reason why people are encouraged to not become too tense during an accident.

  5. Wrist Injuries You may not break a bone during an accident, but you can still fracture or tear a ligament. The wrist is one common place in the body that frequently becomes injured in rear-end crashes. It is particularly common for drivers, whose hands may be on the steering wheel at the time of the collision. If your body is jolted forward, you may sprain your wrists. As a passenger, you may naturally reach out to your hands to stop your body from moving causing a fractured wrist.

  6. Knee Injuries Your knees are susceptible to damage in a rear-end collision. They may be pushed forward into the car’s dashboard causing a strain. To help prevent this from happening, make sure your seat is at the right distance away from the dash while driving or riding in the car.

  7. Concussion If you happen to hit your head during a rear-end accident, you may sustain a concussion. This can occur if you hit your forehead on the dashboard or window, or if you simply experience enough whiplash that you head is jolted too much. 7

  8. If you think you may have experienced one or more of these injuries during a rear-end car accident in the past, contact a Philadelphia car accident attorney Daniel S. Doyle at Dan Doyle Law Group.
