Car Accidents in Virginia
Virginia sees thousands of motor vehicle collisions each year, many of which lead to injury. In 2023 alone, the Commonwealth reported over 120,000 traffic accidents, with more than 59,000 resulting in injuries. These crashes often stem from speeding, impaired driving, or distracted behavior behind the wheel.
Being involved in an accident often leaves people with more questions than answers. Here’s some helpful insight into what often follows after a crash:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: One of the most common outcomes of vehicle accidents is soft tissue damage, especially whiplash. This occurs when the neck is rapidly forced back and forth, straining the muscles and ligaments. These injuries may not be immediately obvious but can cause long-term discomfort if left untreated.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Vehicle collisions frequently result in fractures due to the impact of airbags or hitting hard surfaces. Depending on the location and severity of the break, treatment may include surgery, physical therapy, and weeks of immobility.
- Emotional Distress: It’s not unusual for crash survivors to suffer from anxiety, sleep disturbances, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic collision. These mental health effects can interfere with daily life and may require therapy or counseling.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: More severe crashes can damage the spine, potentially leading to partial or total paralysis. Immediate and long-term care is critical in these situations, and recovery can be life-altering.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt trauma from a seatbelt or impact can cause internal bleeding or organ damage. These types of injuries might not show up right away but are very serious and often require emergency surgery.
