Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

Common Injuries in an Iowa SUV Rollover Crash (Part B)

Whiplash is another common injury that can result from an SUV accident in Iowa. A whiplash injury happens when a sudden impact damages soft tissues in an accident victim's neck. Whiplash can result in damage to back nerves, as well as certain ligaments or muscles.

Symptoms of whiplash include chronic pain and inflammation, and may be treated by medication and rehabilitative therapy.

Rehabilitative therapy for whiplash includes:

  • infrared heat;
  • hot packs;
  • paraffin baths;
  • hydrotherapy;
  • diathermy;
  • muscle strengthening;
  • massage; and
  • acupuncture.


As for damage to internal organs after an SUV accident in Iowa, the most common types of injuries are fractured ribs and punctured lungs. A torn spleen may also occur and require long-term hospitalization.

A victim of an SUV accident in Iowa may also suffer from injuries to their upper or lower limbs, especially if they failed to wear a seatbelt at the time of the accident. In fact, limb fractures are typical, and treatment may involve splints, casts and reconstructive surgery.

Claiming Damages for Your Medical Expenses

Any one of the common SUV accident injuries can leave you with tremendous medical expenses. But if your SUV accident in Iowa was the result of another driver's negligence, then you may be compensated for your medical expenses. To pursue compensation, you will have to file an Iowa personal injury claim.

When you file a personal injury claim after an SUV accident in Iowa, you may also be compensated for any pain that you have suffered and any wages that you have lost or will lose because of your injuries. A Des Moines SUV accident lawyer can help you identify which damages to ask for during the claims process.
