Accident Injury Types
Burn Injures
| Paralysis
| Quadriplegia
| Paraplegia
Many serious injuries result from car and truck
accidents. Thousands of people are injured
each year as a result of defective automobiles, substandard
and faulty safety mechanisms and defective roads and
highways. Many injuries are preventable and occur due
to the negligence of others (auto manufacturers, municipalities).
Sadly, auto manufacturer profits often trump safety
concerns, as evidenced by the manufacturers’ relentless
lobbying against the implementation of standards by
the NHS
Among the most traumatic motor vehicle accident injuries
are burn injuries and
paralysis. Burn
injuries occur when vehicles catch on fire during
or after a collision. Often these fires are because
of defective fuel systems. Paralysis, including
paraplegia and quadriplegia,
can occur when vehicles roll over and undergo roof crush/caving.
Passengers in these instances often undergo serious
spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis. Safer vehicle
design could easily reduce the number of serious spinal
cord injuries sustained each year. However, the auto
industry lobbies Congress with millions of dollars each
year, all but ensuring that driver safety is not protected.
