In the field of traffic accidents, the most common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, soft tissue damage such as cervical sprains (whiplash), and internal bruising. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to stabilize the patient, prevent complications, and, in severe cases, save lives.

Rehabilitation plays a fundamental role, combining approaches such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support to address both the physical aftermath and the emotional impact that these accidents often generate. Additionally, preventive medicine focuses on educating about the use of seat belts, child restraint systems, and the importance of avoiding risky behavior while driving.
