Sudden Stops Can Lead to IncidentsAll sudden stops can potentially harm all parties inside the vehicle, drivers and passengers alike. Although drivers can brace themselves for a sudden stop, passengers are typically not able to – since they are not the ones behind the wheel paying attention to the road. Sudden stops can cause passengers to move violently within the vehicle. Hard braking can cause passengers to hit themselves on the seats in front of them, side panels, windows, the windshield, or the dashboard. If the passenger is wearing a seatbelt, the head and neck are likely to take most of the impact. Some of the most common injuries that victims affected by sudden stop incidents include the following: head injuries; traumatic brain injuries; concussions; neck injuries; fractures (skull fractures and facial fractures; lacerations.
