Car Accidents in Virginia
Virginia sees thousands of car accidents each year, many leading to injuries and fatalities. In 2023 alone, there were over 122,000 crashes across the state. Motor vehicle accidents remain a significant public safety issue statewide. Efforts by agencies like the Virginia State Police continue to focus on prevention and safer driving initiatives.
Understanding how accidents happen is key to reducing their occurrence. Below are some important facts about injuries sustained in car accidents:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are among the most common injuries and can occur even in low-speed accidents. Neck injuries often require extensive therapy to manage pain and restore mobility.
- Back Injuries: Spinal cord injuries or herniated discs can result from the sudden impact of a crash. These injuries may lead to chronic pain or long-term disability, affecting a person’s quality of life.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, and ribs are commonly fractured during collisions, especially in high-speed crashes or rollovers. Surgery and rehabilitation are often necessary for recovery.
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur if a person’s head strikes part of the vehicle during a collision. Even mild TBIs can have lasting effects on memory and cognitive function.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and tears in muscles or ligaments may not appear immediately but can cause significant pain in the days following an accident.
