Injury Car Crashes in Omaha: A Growing Concern
In 2020, Nebraska recorded over 29,000 vehicle accidents, with nearly 9,900 resulting in injuries. Omaha, as part of Douglas County, consistently experiences a high number of these crashes. Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of accidents, often leading to injuries such as whiplash, a neck strain caused by sudden jerking motions. These types of injuries can lead to long-term pain and mobility issues.
Other frequent injuries from car accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones, all of which can have a lasting impact on a person’s health and quality of life.
