Common Injuries in Vehicle Collisions in Maui

Vehicle collisions, even at low speeds in parking lots, can result in a wide range of injuries. The severity often depends on the force of impact, the position of occupants, and the type of vehicles involved. Even minor fender-benders can cause soft-tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, cuts, and bruising, which may require medical evaluation and monitoring to ensure proper healing.

In addition to soft-tissue damage, more serious collisions can result in fractures or broken bones. The risk of fractures increases when passengers are struck directly by moving parts of the vehicle, such as doors or dashboards, or are jolted violently during the collision. These injuries may require casts, splints, or even surgical intervention, depending on the location and severity of the break.

Head trauma is another common concern in vehicle accidents. Passengers may hit their heads on windows, seats, or other hard surfaces during a collision, which can lead to concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Symptoms may include dizziness, confusion, nausea, or prolonged headaches, and in severe cases, long-term cognitive or neurological issues may arise, making prompt medical attention critical.

Neck and spine injuries, including whiplash, are frequent in rear-end or side-impact collisions, even at low speeds. Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly jerked backward and forward, stretching muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck. Recovery can require weeks or months of physical therapy, and ongoing pain or limited range of motion may persist if not treated properly. 

Even seemingly minor accidents can result in injuries that appear later, which is why medical evaluation after any vehicle collision is essential. Proper documentation of injuries and the accident scene is also important for insurance or legal purposes.
