You might think that back or neck injuries are the most commonly sustained injuries associated with car accidents - however according to Forbes.com, it’s something far more simple: Slamming your finger in the car door accounts for almost 150,000 car-related accidents annually.
Also near the top of the list of personal injuries that happen when the car is stationary are:
- Injury related to a hoist or car jack
- Injury from a falling vehicle or vehicle part
- Injury from loading or unloading a car
- Injury from pushing a car that has stalled
According to the Forbes article, injuries that happen when the car is not moving are not covered by insurance. The research shows that nearly 2,000 deaths and more than 800,000 injuries each year are caused by non-traffic accidents and non-crash incidents.
