Because of our success, we have offices for car accident cases throughout California from San Diego to the Northern California border. Although we see many different injuries caused by car accidents the most common injuries are as follows:
- Back: The back always suffers from a car accident due to the amount of force placed on the back from the trauma of the accident impact. Unfortunately, there is nothing but time and therapy that can resolve a strained back. We have had many cases where back symptoms continued even after three or four months of therapy. At that point, further medical providers are necessary such as orthopedic surgeons and even neurosurgeons. Always keep your doctor advised of your back condition so that he or she can note it in the records and provide you with the best treatment. Ninety percent (90%) of our cases involve some back injury.
- Neck: Neck injuries are as common as back injuries. It is because of whiplash. Whiplash is literally the whipsaw effect to the neck from the trauma of the car accident. Whiplash can also develop into severe headaches which can last for a long time. Of course, tell your doctor everything that is going on with you medically and always keep them informed your physical condition. Whiplash also affects the back, spinal cord and can be a reason for cervical disc protrusions or spine related problems, which could lead to numbness and tingling down the arms.
- Arms and legs: We often see limb issues concerning the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knees, or ankles, due to an automobile wreck. We have had many cases where the knee is pushed into the steering wheel or dash, causing significant knee trauma leading to the need for surgery. We have also had many cases of an ulnar entrapment neuropathy, where, due to the impact the elbow smashes into the door causing an entrapment of the ulnar nerve in the elbow leading to Numbness and tingling in the finger. Oftentimes, these patients are treated by anorthopedic surgeon and neurologist for testing and diagnosis.
- Rotator cuff tears: We have had many cases involving fractures to ligaments and tissues in the wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and shoulders.
- Head: We see concussions in severe impacts. A concussion, or a bruised brain is when there has been some significant impact to the brain or skull. The effect of this injury is fatigue, headaches, feeling nauseous, dizzy, lack of concentration, difficult sleep patterns, even seizures and/or memory loss. These injuries are difficult to diagnose. You must contact a doctor if you have any kind of head injury symptoms.
