The consequences of a traffic accident are often lasting
Traffic accidents represent a large part of work accidents. In
addition, this type of work-related injury is often serious and involves
victims for many years to come.
Survivors of a traffic accident often have to go through a long
process of rest and revalidation, as appears in a recent report by the Belgian
Institute for Road Safety (IBSR). But at least 25% of the victims of serious
injuries in a traffic accident experience persistent physical problems.
Type of traffic accident
The BRSI has identified several consequences of traffic accidents,
depending on the means of transport involved. Those who are seriously injured
in a car or truck will suffer up to three years later. For cyclists, the
duration is 2 years and 4 months. For pedestrians, more than 2 and a half
years.
Most common injuries
The most common serious injury is spinal cord injury, an injury
that victims suffer throughout their lives. For fractures of the leg the
average healing time is 4 years. For heel fractures, ribs and head injuries,
the delay is also more than 3 years.
3 tips for healing
The legal office "Letselschade & Gezondheidsrecht"
has published some tips to promote healing after a traffic accident:
Go directly to the doctor. After a traffic accident, victims
sometimes have the reflex to quickly resume their normal life. But many
symptoms get worse if they are not treated early. In addition, injuries are not
always directly remarkable. A check at the doctor is always advisable, even if
you think you have not suffered any injury.
Create a good balance between exercises and rest. Do not skip the
revalidation exercises. Revalidation can sometimes take a very long time. It is
still important not to miss the exercise sessions. Exercises reduce the risk of
muscle stiffness. Good recovery also goes with rest and adequate sleep. Plan an
alternation between rest and movement and respect your limits. Because wanting
to get back to work too quickly can cause more damage.
Avoid stress situations. Excessive stress causes physical and
mental disorders. Those who have suffered injuries as a result of a traffic
accident are likely to be extra sensitive to the negative effects of stress. In
addition, the traffic accident can itself cause trauma. Therefore, appeal as
soon as possible to psychological help to treat traumatic events.
