Car Accidents in Virginia
Virginia sees thousands of car accidents each year, many of which result in serious injuries. According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, there were over 118,000 crashes statewide in 2022, leading to more than 58,000 injuries. Major metropolitan areas, including Richmond, experience a significant portion of these incidents due to heavy traffic and busy intersections.
While accidents can occur for many reasons, certain patterns emerge when examining crash data. Below are some common injuries that victims of car accidents in Virginia may experience:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Sudden impact often causes the neck to snap forward and backward, leading to soft tissue injuries that can be painful and long-lasting.
- Broken Bones – High-speed collisions or forceful impacts can result in fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, and collarbone.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Head injuries are a serious risk in car crashes, ranging from mild concussions to severe brain trauma that can have lifelong consequences.
- Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spine can cause mobility issues, chronic pain, or even permanent paralysis, depending on the severity of the injury.
- Lacerations and Bruising – Shattered glass, sharp debris, or impact with hard surfaces inside the vehicle can cause deep cuts and bruising.
