In a car accident, often times people's injuries are the ones you cannot see. Below are a list of the most common injuries reported in car accident in 2008.

The Most Common Injuries In A Car Accident

Everyone either has been in a car accident or knows someone who has. Most often, these accidents are minor fender-benders and no one reports any injuries or makes a claim against their or others' car insurance for any injury. However, people do often get hurt, and sometimes the injuries are not reported and can last long after the car accident occured.


According to statistics provided by LegalMatch, the following injuries were the most commonly reported as a result of an auto accident in 2008:

1. 49% - Neck pain
2. 42% - Lower back pain
3. 39% - General headaches
4. 37% - Shoulder pain
5. 34% - Pain to the upper back
6. 31% - Sleep anxiety/Insomnia
7. 35% - General anxiety
8. 20% - Cuts and brusing
9. 12% - Loss of feeling to a body part
10. 10% - Broken bones

Unfortunately, the most common injuries associated with a car accident cannot easily be detected by the driver, and moreso, physicians have a hard time diagnosing the injury or be able to tell to what extent it is causing you pain. Worse, shoulder, neck and back pain are difficult to treat and is even harder to tell how long you will have the pain.

For this reason, insurance companies often have a hard time believing people who make claims against them for soft tissue and spinal injuries to the neck, shoulder and back. But there is good news.
