A car wreck can produce more injuries than you can cover here. I'll cover just three major ones.

  • Obviously a person can sustain broken bones from the direct force delivered to the body from the car, such as hitting your legs on the dash and fracturing a femur or breaking ribs on the steering wheel. This kind of damage can produce internal injuries, too.
  • A person could also sustain internal organ injuries through indirect force which, in most cases, don't occur from the organs hitting the vehicle, but rather the organs hitting the inside of the body cavity from stopping so abruptly.
  • Possibly the most damaging injury to be aware of due to a car wreck is to the nervous system, and more specifically to the central nervous system, which is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. These are very sensitive internal organs, and when damaged, the spinal cord does not have the ability to re-generate itself. This leads to very many complications with the rest of the body, which can include paralysis or even damage the ability to breathe.

These are the major three types internal injuries that an adult will sustain during a car wreck, but realize that there are many more specific sub-sets of internal injuries in each of these three broad topics.

In addition, consider children, pregnant women and seniors who might suffer these injuries and more.
