Cleveland Neck And Back Injury Attorney

Neck and back injuries are some of the most common and painful injuries one can suffer as a result of an accident. They can cause immediate, significant pain and suffering, as well as consistent and chronic pain over a lifetime. If you have suffered a back and/or neck injury caused by another person’s negligence, begin treating your injuries immediately and speak to an attorney soon, so they can start documenting your accident and injuries.

Herniated Discs And Other Injuries

The types of neck and back injuries that a person may suffer in an accident range all the way from herniated discs to torn tissue injuries to cervical or spinal fractures. The nature and extent of the injury depend on the severity and direction of the forces and impact on the body, as well as other factors related to the trauma. In a motor vehicle collision for example, the damage done to the vehicle is sometimes indicative of the nature and severity of the injuries. It is important to realize, however, that the lack of damage to a vehicle is also sometimes misleading because a person’s body may still suffer significant trauma and severe injury despite a lack of major damage to the vehicle. In rear-end accidents, a person’s upper torso is thrown ahead with significant force, while the head and neck snap backward. That motion lasts for just a fraction of a second, but can cause serious damage to the muscles and tissues of the neck. Such impacts can even result in herniated discs, which can cause a person significant pain, fatigue, weakness in the arms and legs, and other symptoms, sometimes for the rest of their lives.

Long-Term Consequences Of Neck And Back Injuries

A person who suffers from a neck or back injury can suffer from chronic and consistent pain. There may be symptoms of tingling or numbness that never go away. The victim may lose sensation in the legs and experience a lack of stability and strength in the back. When a person continues to suffer chronic pain over the course of time, they can also experience depression, anxiety, and other mental problems as a direct result. If you have suffered a back or neck injury in an accident, you may be eligible to file a claim for compensation that can help you recover damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and disability.
