Lacerations (Cuts)

The cracked window glass, sharp metal sheets or any other flying substance may cause lacerations during accidents. If the cuts are not deep, then they will heal automatically or after few stitches; while if they are deep, they can result into blood loss thereby needing a surgery. Scars may be caused when the wounds are healed and require further treatment to reduce their visibility.

Fractures

Broken ribs, limbs, backbone, etc are the most common detrimental effects of a car crash. If the fracture is not serious, it can be treated by cast and a physical therapy after the removal of the cast that allows the patient to restore the flexibility for motion.
