What to Physically Expect after an Auto Accident

Motor Vehicle accidents will affect different people in different ways.

While some people can walk away from an accident with a only few minor aches or acute injuries, other crash victims could suffer for years after with chronic pain.

And, these two people could have been in extremely similar accidents.

And on that note, two very different accidents, like high-impact and rear-end car accidents, can cause similar injuries as well.

Because people can react so differently after similar accidents, it's important to understand what's normal and what isn't after a car accident.

The best way to understand the injuries you may be dealing with is to visit a car accident doctor as soon as you can after your accident.

Your doctor will evaluate and diagnose your injuries and provide you with a treatment plan that will return you to health. It's important to also pay attention to your daily routine and if the emotional toll is getting in the way of your daily life. Emotional trauma can be just as debilitating as physical trauma, so it's important you have access to the correct resources.

But, until you can visit a doctor, we'll go over some of the common injuries and symptoms you can expect to experience physically after a car accident.

After being injured in a car accident, you probably have a thousand things running through your mind.

How Do You Treat An Airbag Injury?


Airbags are made to protect you in a car accident, and they do this very well.

However, the force with which the airbags deploy can injure you instead.

Even though other injuries from a car accident can cause chest pain, it is often a sign that the airbag has impacted your body.

This could be nothing but could also be a sign of a severe injury.

It is best to visit a car accident doctor to rule out anything life-threatening and start treating your injuries.

Aside from chest injuries, there are a few other types of injuries that can be caused by airbag deployment.

In the article below, we'll talk about the different kinds of injuries caused by airbags and how to treat them.

 5 Key Takaways

  1. Airbag Deployment Can Cause Injuries: While airbags are designed to protect in a car accident, the force with which they deploy can lead to injuries. Chest pain after an accident could be a sign of airbag impact.

  2. Understanding How Airbags Work: Airbags are made of light fabric stored in various parts of the car. They deploy when a crash sensor detects a significant impact. The inflation and deflation process happens very quickly.

  3. Safety Precautions: To minimize the risk of airbag-related injuries, it's important to maintain the correct distance from the steering wheel (recommended at 10 inches), wear seatbelts correctly, and ensure that children are properly restrained in the car.

  4. Types of Chest Injuries: Airbag deployment can lead to chest injuries, ranging from contusions (bruising) to more severe conditions like broken ribs, collapsed lung (pneumothorax), or damage to internal organs.

  5. Other Potential Injuries: Airbags can also cause injuries to the face, neck, back, and result in burns, both physical and chemical. Internal injuries can occur due to the chemicals released during airbag deployment.
