Auto Accident Injuries

Millions of the victims of these tragic auto accidents sustain various injuries that can range from mild to severe.

  Head injury is a term used to describe a trauma to the head that may possibly lead to the damages of the scalp, skull, or brain.

  A spinal cord injury is also another type of injury that may also be considered as extremely dangerous as this can have other complications. Such injuries can result in paralysis or the loss of mobility or sensation.
  
  In spinal cord injuries, the myelinated fiber tracts or white matter that carries motor signals and sensation to and fro the brain gets damaged, as well as the gray matter in the spinal’s central part, causing segmental losses of interneurons and motorneurons.
