More than two million people are the victims of a car accident injury each year in the United States. The majority of car accidents, resulting in car accident injury, are due to negligence on the part of one or both of the drivers. Negligence is defined as failure to exercise a degree of care that is necessary in order to prevent damage or car accident injury.

There are three layers of protection for tendons, muscle, and bones. The first layer of protection is the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. There are many layers of cells (50-150) in the epidermis. It is our main defense against injury and infection. The second layer of protection is the dermis. This layer gives skin elasticity. The final layer of defense is the fatty tissue. There are fat cells, hair follicles, and sweat glands in the fatty tissue layer.
Coup and contrecoup injury can occur even in a relatively minor accident. If the head snaps, front to back or side to side, the brain will slam and recoil against the skull. The majority of head trauma hospitalizations are car accident related and classified as minor injuries; that is, no or only momentary loss of consciousness, no major complications, and no intracranial surgery.
