An automobile crash can cause serious bodily injury and even death. The most common type of injury that one develops from a car wreck is called an impact injury. Impact injuries are caused when someone collides with another part of the vehicle or loose object due to the vehicles colliding. Often accompanying the impact injuries are cuts, lacerations, bruises, and other injuries caused by the broken glass, scrap metal, and airbag deployment.
