Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) can result in a wide range of injuries, and the severity can vary depending on factors such as the speed of the vehicles involved, the type of collision, the use of seat belts, and the presence of airbags. Here are some common injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents:

Whiplash: A sudden, forceful movement of the neck, often occurring in rear-end collisions. It can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and other symptoms.
Fractures: Broken bones can occur in any part of the body due to the impact of a collision.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, which can result in pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
Head Injuries: Concussions and more severe traumatic brain injuries can occur if the head is struck or if there is a sudden deceleration.
Chest Injuries: Impact with the steering wheel or airbag can cause chest injuries, including rib fractures and internal organ damage.
Back Injuries: The force of a collision
Emotional Traumas: A motor vehicle collision is no laughing matter and depending on the severity of the accident, it can cause some fear, anxiety, and hesitation relating to vehicles.

Once a MVA has occured, one should go to the nearest hospital for a physical check up because some physical symptoms may not appear until several days or weeks later.
