What are common back injuries from car accidents?

Answer by  benjiross (993)

A whiplash injury can affect the upper back / neck and leave one paralysed neck down. Lower back spine can also get fractured/twisted and cause paralysis. The hip bone found in the lower part of the back can get broken and this can cause a lot of hidden blood loss.
