Common Injuries in Head-On Collisions
The sheer speed and direct impact of a head-on collision can result in serious injuries such as:
Traumatic Brain Injuries
When the head strikes the windshield, the steering wheel, the road, or any other hard surface, the brain can be shaken inside the skull, resulting in internal bleeding, swelling, or bruising. These injuries range from mild concussions that disappear within a few days to permanent damage and even death. Damage to the brain is a life-changing trauma that may become a part of the victim’s life forever.
Injuries to the Spinal Cord and Paralysis
When the speed of two moving vehicles combine, there is no time to react. Being thrown about with such force can seriously damage the body, hurting the spinal cord and cutting off its ability to communicate with the brain. Movement and sensation may become impossible and partial or total paralysis could ensue. Although some spinal cord injuries improve through ongoing rehabilitation, many may not, fully upending life as the victim knew it.
