Common Injuries in Vehicle Crashes on Brooklyn Avenues
Vehicle accidents on busy Brooklyn streets, like Flatbush Avenue or Coney Island Avenue, can lead to a range of injuries, from minor to serious. Even low-speed crashes can cause harm because of sudden impact and the crowded nature of city traffic.
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: One of the most frequent injuries in car accidents is whiplash. This occurs when the head and neck are jerked forward and backward suddenly, straining muscles and ligaments. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, and headaches.
- Cuts, Bruises, and Road Rash: Broken glass, metal, or pavement can cause cuts, scrapes, and bruises. While often minor, these injuries may require medical attention to prevent infection or scarring.
- Broken Bones: Collisions can result in fractures, particularly to the arms, legs, ribs, or collarbone. Broken bones often need immobilization, physical therapy, or even surgery in severe cases.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Accidents can place intense pressure on the spine, leading to herniated discs, pinched nerves, or other back injuries. Some spinal injuries may have long-term effects and require ongoing treatment.
- Head Injuries: Head trauma ranges from mild concussions to serious traumatic brain injuries. Helmets and airbags reduce risk, but impacts can still cause dizziness, confusion, or long-term cognitive issues.
Even minor injuries should be checked by a medical professional. Timely evaluation ensures proper treatment and supports potential compensation claims. A New York car accident lawyer can also help victims understand their rights and seek reimbursement for medical costs, lost wages, and other damages.
