Car accidents are responsible for thousands of injuries and deaths each year in the United States.
There were, in fact, almost 6 million car accidents reported in the United States in 2016, over 30,000 of which were fatal and another 2 million or so reportedly involved some kind of injury. The types of injuries that are caused by car accidents are as varied as the people who are involved in these car crashes. The seriousness of injuries depend largely on the cause of the accident, and whether the occupants were wearing seatbelts, etc.

The following are some of the most common car accident accidents:

1. "Soft Tissue Injuries":  These occur when the impact of a crash causes damage to the body's soft
     tissue, including the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. One of the most common examples of a soft
     tissue injury is "whiplash", which occurs when the muscles and ligaments in the neck and upper  back are stretched upon impact.

2. "Head Injuries": These range from minor concussions to severe skull fractures.

3. "Scrapes and Cuts" : Both small and large.

4. " Back and Spinal Cord Injuries" : Lower back injuries are quite common, and can include
     strains, herniated discs, and fractured vertebrae.

5. " Chest Injuries" : From bruising to cracked ribs.

6. " Internal Injuries" : Internal injuries can occur to the bowels, the spleen, the kidneys, liver,
    heart, or lungs. These injuries are life-threatening and thus require immediate medical attention.

7. "Arm and Leg Injuries" : These injuries are common in car accidents.

8. "Facial Injuries" : The face is vulnerable to injury in car accidents from hitting the steering wheel, windshield, or dashboard.

9. "Psychological Injuries" : Car accidents can be extremely traumatic events, especially for those who have been severely injured or lost a loved one.  A huge shock to the system.
