Common injuries in Florida car accidents vary based on the accident type. For rear-end collisions, whiplash is frequent. If you were hit hard from behind, it can sometimes result in a rotator cuff tear. Another frequently observed injury is when your knees hit the dashboard, potentially causing a torn ligament or meniscus tear.
Lower back injuries do occur in rear-end accidents but are less common due to the shape of most vehicle seats, which provides reasonably good protection for your lower back. In side-impact collisions, head and traumatic brain injuries are common as the head may hit the steering wheel or airbag. The collision’s intensity correlates with injury severity, ranging from lacerations to fatalities.
