Long term consequences
of motor vehicle accidents

2. Serious motor vehicle accidents can leave the patient

Some of the long term consequences of motor vehicle
accidents are mentioned below.

3. Brain/ head related injuries:
• Traumatic brain injuries are caused by the force generated
in a motor vehicle accident where the head crashes or
collides into the windshield, dashboard or other part of the
vehicle.

4. Brain injuries can be classifies into 2 types:
• Closed brain injuries: If the internal nerves in the brain are
damaged due to sudden bump or movement during the
accident, then it is called a closed brain injury.
• Penetrating brain injuries: During the accident, an external
object like glass piece or any sharp metal object penetrates
into head causing damage to the brain. This is called
penetrating brain injury.

5. • Traumatic brain injuries may damage internal nerves of the
brain leading to temporary or permanent disability of certain
limbs of the body.
• Persons who experience traumatic brain injuries may face
several problems like weak memory, weakness in arms and
legs, inability to hear or see properly, impaired sense of
balance, memory loss etc.

6. Soft tissue/Whiplash injuries
• Whiplash/soft tissue injuries suffered in automobile accidents

back or when heavy weights fall on spinal cord during the

pain, back pain, headache, inability to concentrate, pickiness
in neck and shoulders, irritation etc.
