Car accident injuries can range anywhere from minor cuts and scrapes to traumatic brain injury and death. Many car accident injuries are divided into categories depending on the nature of the injury. A soft tissue injury is a term used for injuries that affect the muscles, tendons and other soft tissue of the body. Conditions that present as a result of a soft tissue injury include muscle sprains, nerve injuries to the extremities, neck and shoulders, abdominal hernia and chronic pain. A fracture means a patient has suffered some form of broken bone. Damage can range from hairline cracks to complete breaks. Spinal cord injuries are categorized as complete and incomplete. Complete meaning the victim has no sensation and is unable to voluntarily move their body below the level of injury. Incomplete means there is partial movement and some feeling. Other types of car accident injuries include traumatic brain injury, amputation and evisceration.
