The Deadly Consequences of Car Accidents
Car crashes are the most common of all transportation accidents, mainly because Americans spend so much time every day commuting to and from work in their automobiles. Car accidents kill over 30,000 annually, and car accident injuries can cause death long after the accident occurs. Spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries in particular can lead to death months or even years after the accident.
