BACK & NECK INJURY ATTORNEYS

There are several different types of back and neck injuries that are common after an accident. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence (no fault of your own), a personal injury lawyer can help provide answers to legal questions, determine the strength of your case, and help to pursue a personal injury claim to recover compensation. These are the common types of neck and back injuries resulting from accidents.

• Sprained or strained neck – Injuries that occur to the muscle or ligament in the neck due to stretching or tearing can cause mild to severe pain. Minor neck strains often heal quickly, but severe strains can be a source of long-term and even chronic neck pain.
• Herniated disc – Damage to spinal discs often result in herniated discs. Commonly, these injuries are a bulging disc which is an injury that occurs when a spinal disc pushes through a crack, causing the disc to flatter or bulge to a side of the spinal canal.
• Nerve damage – Also known as peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage is a common occurrence after a catastrophic accident can affect the neck and back, causing severe and chronic pain from permanent nerve damage.
• Spinal cord injuries – Commonly caused by auto accidents, spinal cord injuries are damage to any part of the spine or vertebrae. Spine injuries may be categorized as thoracic spine injuries (upper back), lumbar spine injuries (mid and lower back), or spinal cord injuries which often result in paralysis or loss of muscle movement.
• Paralysis – In some cases, paralysis or loss of mobility is common after suffering severe neck or back injuries which can result in partial or complete paralysis.

Most common back and neck injuries occur as a result of a motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall accident, or workplace accident.
