With nearly 5 million vehicles in Illinois, it is no wonder that car accidents are everyday occurrences throughout the state. Car accidents can happen in an instant.

You may need to be hospitalized for an extended period of time. You may need medications, additional long-term care and extensive follow-up treatment. You may have mobility issues. You may have to take days, weeks, or even months off work in order to recover.

Even with the most modern safety features, the protection your vehicle offers you in an accident is limited. There is a lot that can happen after an accident. That is why you need legal assistance.

Common Car Accident Injuries

After a car crash, you may experience a variety of symptoms. Some will diminish naturally, like soreness or bruising, but others could be persistent or lead to bigger problems. You should see a doctor if you experience any of the following:

• Pain, swelling, and bruising
• Headache
• Open wounds
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Back pain, including discomfort in the shoulder blades, rib cage, or lower back
• Pain, numbness, or tingling in the shoulders, arms, legs, or the buttocks

These symptoms may be signs that you have one of the following injuries:

• Whiplash. The violent impact that occurs in a car crash can cause your neck to jerk back and forth. This is called whiplash, and it can be very painful. Sprains and strains of the neck and back are common soft tissue injuries following a car crash, especially a rear-end accident. 
• Spine injuries. The impact experienced during a crash can also cause herniated discs and other spine injuries.
• Fractures. Car accidents can lead to broken bones anywhere in the body, but they are particularly common in the arms, legs, pelvis, and ribs. These fractures are due to the impact of the crash. Your arm or leg could hit the dash, door, or even another occupant of the vehicle. 
• Traumatic brain injuries. These injuries are also caused by the impact of the crash. Your head could hit the steering wheel, dash, door, or windshield, causing a concussion or more severe head injury. 
• Internal injuries. It’s possible to suffer organ damage or internal bleeding and not even know it. If your abdominal area is painful or tight, you might have internal injuries. Seek medical help right away.
