- Spinal cord damage: Car accident force to the spinal cord, causing bruising, partial tears, or complete severance, resulting in pain, weakness, and even paralysis.
- Broken bones and fractures: Crash impacts that force bones to break or fracture, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
- Internal organ damage: Blunt force trauma causes internal bleeding and damage to organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys.
