Injuries from car accidents range from minor, such as minor\nstiffness and body aches, to catastrophic, such as paraplegia and death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rear-End Car Accidents<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When one car collides into the back bumper of another\ncar, this is known as a <em>rear-end car accident<\/em>. These accidents often\nhappen when a vehicle is tailing another, or driving too close and because the\nfollowing driver is simply not paying attention. It also frequently occurs in\nsituations in stop-and-go traffic and traffic jams, at stop lights and stop\nsigns, and left-turn intersections. In such cases, the drivers and passengers\ninside the struck vehicle are the ones who tend to experience more serious\ninjuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front seat passengers are prone to blunt force impact\non the steering wheel, dashboard, windows, and windshield. These impacts can\ncause injuries to the face, chest, neck, knees, and more. Passengers in the\nbackseat of a vehicle that is rear-ended can also face a long list of injuries\nas a result of sudden forward and backward thrusting, and impact to the\nheadrests, windows, front seats, or other objects inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Car Accident Injuries<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common rear-end car accident injuries is whiplash, which results from a person being thrust forward and thrown backward upon impact of the rear-ending vehicle.
