2 + 2 = I'M HURT

Head Trauma: Direct head collision with the window or A-pillar. This can cause a brain bleed, which is extremely serious because the brain does not heal like other tissue heals. If there is a brain bleed, there is no place for the swelling of the blood to go. The body simply reabsorbs the blood but when that happens in the brain, it leaves hole in the brain like Swiss cheese. That's why there's often a loss of consciousness and for a lengthy period after the wreck, we have mental fogginess, forgetfulness, and headaches.

Spinal Injuries: The direct lateral force could result in spinal injuries. The direct lateral force can result in serious injuries to the spine, including potenƟal disc herniaƟons, vertebral fractures, or other spinal trauma.
