Collision Types:

Every type of accident produces different types of injuries. In order to understand the types of injuries that a person may have sustained, it is necessary to have a basic idea of the dynamic of each type of accident.

Frontal Collisions cause injuries by throwing the occupants towards the front of the vehicle. Systems like airbags and seat belts are designed to minimize these injuries, but can cause injuries of their own

Roll-Over Accidents cause pressure to be exerted on parts of the vehicle (e.g. the roof) that are not designed to withstand an impact.

Low Speed Impacts are the interaction of opposing forces with momentum being a factor. Many times little or no vehicle damage does not mean that there is little or no injury to the occupant.
