The most common physical injuries of an auto accident include back, neck, and head injuries. Soft tissue damage, neck strains, disk damage, and spine injuries are also quite common and classified as minor injuries. Individuals impacted by physical injuries from an auto accident can experience traumatic brain injury, whiplash, fractures, and migraine headaches.
Major injuries are usually accompanied by long-term effects that can be permanent.
