Car Accidents in Newark 
Two-car crashes often cause a wide range of injuries, even when vehicles do not appear totally destroyed. The human body absorbs force on impact, and victims may not feel the full effects until hours or days later. Some injuries show up right away, while others develop with swelling or internal damage.
In collisions like the one in Newark, victims may face injuries such as:
- Whiplash and soft-tissue strain. The head and neck snap forward and back, leading to stiffness and pain.
- Head injuries or concussions. A sudden jolt or hitting a window can affect memory, focus, and balance.
- Traumatic brain injury. More severe head trauma can cause long-term cognitive or emotional changes.
- Back injuries and herniated discs. Impact can damage the spine and create pain that spreads into the legs or arms.
- Broken bones. Arms, ribs, legs, and hips can fracture during a violent crash or airbag deployment.
- Internal injuries. Trauma to organs can cause bleeding that requires urgent treatment.
- Chest injuries. Seat belts and steering wheels can bruise or crack ribs and injure the lungs.
- Knee, shoulder, or joint damage. Bracing for impact can tear ligaments or dislocate joints.
- Cuts and deep bruising. Shattered glass and flying debris can leave lasting scars.
After any crash, it helps to get checked by a doctor right away, even if symptoms feel minor. Medical records also play a key role if you later need to seek compensation. In many car accidents, victims can recover costs for emergency care, follow-up treatment, therapy, missed work, and pain that interferes with daily life.
