However, always remember to protect yourself from drunk, aggressive, and inattentive drivers by wearing a seatbelt. Seat belts most commonly cause chest, neck, and torso injuries. As a result, if you’re thrown forward in a collision, the seat belt may slash your skin. If your car is rear-ended, your seat belt tightens automatically to prevent you from hitting the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield.

On the other hand, seat belts have been known to injure people in rear-end car accidents. There is no denying that seat belts save lives. Severe whiplash may cause pain, weakness, or numbness in the arms and shoulders. This injury can cause discomfort in the neck, headaches, and stiffness or paralysis. In rear end collisions, whiplash, or neck strain, is a common injury. A specialist must conduct a general evaluation to assess your case properly and recommend a specialized treatment for recovery. Additionally, the whipping motion of the head causes soft tissue, nerve, and spinal damage. It is possible to injure the face, head, and body despite less force applied by a seatbelt or airbag. You could be restrained by your seat belt, whether you have an airbag or not, and end up hitting the steering wheel, dashboard, or the front seat. It’s not uncommon to experience a sharp jerk after being rear-ended. When a car is rear-ended, the body is put through stress and movement, leading to injury. Some of the common injuries from being rear-ended will be discussed below. Rear-end collisions account for approximately 29% of car accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities each year. Regardless of how insignificant the damage appears to be, you must treat any accident carefully. It is common for people to underestimate how severe their injuries are and how much medical attention and treatment they need.

It’s common for this to happen if the vehicle behind you follows too closely or drives too fast.

Crashing into another car from behind is a “rear-end collision”. Thanks stridewell ! ~ danielĪccidents involving the back of a vehicle are very prevalent. I absolutely trust in their care and that's a big deal in these uncertain times. Jaclyn Schroeder was very professional and managed to communicate with me without any language barrier which was nice because I don't understand any medical terminology. I thoroughly appreciate the professional care that I have received here.
