Not every injury is visible.
After a Florida car accident, it’s easy to brush off symptoms or assume you’ll “walk it off.” But the truth is, even low-speed collisions can cause serious, lasting harm — especially when left untreated.
At GOLDLAW, we work with clients who suffer injuries that weren’t immediately obvious — but had devastating effects. Here are some of the most common (and most misunderstood) auto accident injuries we see.
🚗 1. Whiplash and Neck Injuries
Whiplash is one of the most common soft tissue injuries, especially in rear-end collisions. It can cause:
- Neck stiffness and pain
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Limited range of motion
Symptoms may not appear for days, but untreated whiplash can lead to chronic pain and nerve damage.
🚗 2. Back and Spinal Injuries
Accidents often cause herniated discs, spinal cord trauma, or pinched nerves. These injuries can result in:
- Chronic pain
- Numbness or tingling in limbs
- Loss of mobility
- Long-term rehabilitation needs
Even a “minor” back injury can impact your ability to work and live comfortably.
🚗 3. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A blow to the head — even without loss of consciousness — can cause:
- Memory loss
- Trouble concentrating
- Mood changes
- Vision or hearing issues
TBIs are especially dangerous because they’re often missed in early ER visits and may take weeks to fully reveal themselves.
🚗 4. Broken Bones and Fractures
From wrists and ribs to legs and facial bones, fractures can mean:
- Surgery
- Immobilization
- Missed work
- Physical therapy
Don’t minimize your injury just because it’s “not life-threatening.”
🚗 5. Psychological Trauma
Car accidents often leave behind invisible injuries like:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Depression
- Sleep disturbances
You deserve compensation for mental and emotional harm, too.
