Spinal Injuries: From herniated discs to spinal cord damage, these injuries may result in chronic pain or paralysis.
Facial Injuries: Including broken jaws, dental damage, or fractures around the eyes.
Internal Injuries: Organs can be damaged from impact, and broken ribs can puncture vital areas.
Dislocations: Hips and shoulders are often dislocated in collisions.
Sprains and Strains: Torn ligaments and muscles can lead to long-term recovery and significant pain.
Psychological Trauma: Many victims also suffer from anxiety, PTSD, or depression after an accident.
