The impact from two vehicles colliding can strain muscles, affect the spine, and cause lingering symptoms that require ongoing medical care. Neck injuries, like the one reported in this Groton crash, are among the most common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Victims in car accidents may face a wide range of injuries, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Lesiones de cuello y espalda<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Sudden force from a collision can strain muscles, damage soft tissue, or injure the cervical spine. These injuries often lead to stiffness, headaches, or long-term discomfort.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Latigazo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Rapid back-and-forth motion of the head can stretch ligaments and cause pain, dizziness, or reduced range of motion. Victims sometimes need weeks of physical therapy to heal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Concussions and head injuries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Even mild impacts can cause the brain to move inside the skull, leading to headaches, confusion, or sensitivity to light and sound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>lesiones de hombro<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Seatbelts and sudden force can strain shoulder joints, causing pain during movement and difficulty lifting or reaching.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Bruising and soft tissue injuries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 The body absorbs the shock of impact, creating bruises or muscle soreness that may worsen over the days following the crash.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These injuries can affect work, daily activities, and long-term health.
