Common Injuries Pedestrians Sustain in Crashes in Delaware
Head injuries are among the most common injuries that occur in pedestrian crashes. A direct impact can lead to a concussion or a more serious brain injury. Some symptoms appear right away, while others may surface hours later.
Broken bones are also frequently reported in these types of accidents. Arms, legs, and ribs often absorb the force of the impact. Treatment may involve surgery, rehabilitation, and extended periods of rest and follow-up care.
Internal trauma can be difficult to recognize at first. Damage to organs or internal bleeding may not show clear signs immediately. For this reason, an early medical evaluation can help detect these conditions before they worsen.
Spinal injuries sometimes occur when a pedestrian is thrown or falls forcefully onto the pavement. Harm to the neck or back can affect mobility and sensation. Some people experience long-term physical limitations that require ongoing therapy and support.
Soft tissue damage frequently follows pedestrian collisions. Strained muscles, torn ligaments, and deep bruising can cause lasting discomfort. These injuries may limit daily movement and routine tasks for months.
Serious pedestrian injuries often require lengthy recovery and repeated medical visits. Some people miss work for weeks or months while healing. In severe cases, lasting limitations can affect daily life and future employment.
A personal injury lawyer can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and communicate with insurance companies.
