Car Accidents in Ohio
Ohio experiences thousands of car crashes each year, many of which result in injuries. In 2023, the state saw over 290,000 reported crashes, with nearly 70,000 leading to injuries. Urban intersections, like those in Shaker Heights, are common sites for collisions due to high traffic volumes and frequent stop-and-go movement.
Understanding the types of injuries that commonly result from car accidents highlights the importance of seeking proper medical care. Some of the most frequent injuries include:
- Whiplash: This neck injury occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward. It can cause lasting pain and stiffness.
- Head Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur even in low-speed crashes. Symptoms may not appear immediately but can have long-term effects.
- Broken Bones: The impact of a crash can lead to fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, and collarbone.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Muscle strains, ligament damage, and bruising are common in accidents, often requiring weeks of recovery.
