What Are the Most Common Injuries after an Accident?

Most Common Car Accident Injuries
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 3 million people are injured in car accidents every year. These injuries can range from very minor, to permanent life-changing injuries.
Injuries are typically divided into one of two categories: penetrating injuries or impact injuries. Penetrating injuries occur when any foreign object punctures the body, like glass shards embedded in the skin, or any other object causing scrapes or lacerations. An impact injury is when a body part slams against an object in the vehicle. Impact injuries cause both superficial and internal injuries, but do not penetrate the skin.
The following list are injuries we most commonly see at our Hudson Spine Institute clinic in North Bergen, NJ.
- Soft tissue injuries
- Chest contusions
- Arm and leg sprains and strains
- Various injuries to the back

Injuries vary in severity, and you may feel pain right away or not feel any pain for several days. Dr. Kenneth Ermann has 30+ years experience in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating all types of injuries ranging from auto accidents to to weekend warrior sporting mishaps.
