Car Accident injury information by whiplash expert Dr Barry Marks, DC Orange, CA
Auto accidents are a common occurrence in Orange County. Each year thousands of Orange residents are injured in collisions between vehicles in the county’s over stuffed freeways.
Here are some of the most commonly known factors or “injury intensifiers,” that can increase your risk for injury in an accident.
- Rear impact: rear impact collisions cause more damage to the human spine than any other type of collision.
- Head restraint position: a head restraint that is positioned incorrectly greatly increases your chance for injury
- Head position: if you are looking to the side, down to your stereo or into your rear view mirror on impact, your injury potential is raised
- Surprised: being surprised and therefore unable to brace for impact makes it 15x more likely that you will be injured
- Female gender: females suffer injury more easily than males due to neck size and other anatomic factors
- Pre-existing arthritis or disc disease: an already compromised neck even if it was asymptomatic previously, makes the neck less resilient to injury
