minus-squareebits21@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoSure but a lot of those are things like whiplash etc.
minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWiplash can leave you paralyzed or suffer a lifetime of neurological impairment, though. But in addition to whiplash injuries, you’re looking at broken bones, brain and spine damage, loss of limbs, facial disfigurement, burns, etc. It doesn’t go from minor injury to death when it comes to car crashes. There’s an entire spectrum of injuries in the middle.
