Injuries due to Road Traffic Accidents

In 2002 it is believed that 1.2 million people worldwide were killed as a result of a Road Traffic Accident and between 20 and 50 million people are injured globally as results of road traffic accidents each year.

The main reason behind the surge in road traffic accidents is down to the amount of congestion that is now on our roads. With more and more people being mobile accidents are going to occur.

The injuries that are sustained from road traffic accidents can be highly severe, leaving you out of work and altering the way in which you live your daily life. The most common injury that occurs as a result of a road traffic accident is whiplash. This injury affects the ligaments in your neck. However you won’t feel any effect of whiplash until some time after the accident.

Although whiplash is a serious injury as it can cause a lot of discomfort and pain as well as restricting neck movement, it normally clears up within a few weeks.

The injuries sustained from a road traffic accident depend on the severity of the road traffic accident that you are involved in. You could damage the ligaments in your knee, which are vulnerable in road traffic accidents. This could result in on going problems as your knee supports you whole body weight and damage to your knee could result in not just short term but long term problems such as cartilage damage making the knee become weaker.

The most serious injuries that can arise from a road traffic accident are injury to your head, brain and spinal cord. If you cause damage to your back which affects your spinal cord you run the risk of developing quadriplegia, loss of function in all four limbs, or paraplegia, loss of function in two limbs. This sort of injury will devastate your life and leave you out of work as well as facing mounting debt.

Injuries to your head/brain are just as devastating as brain damage is a possibility. Any injury that you receive as a result of a road traffic accident will seriously affect your life.
