Suffering From Back or Neck Injury Caused By an Accident?
If you have been in a car accident, fallen down uneven stairs or slipped on a wet floor at the supermarket, you may only feel a little stiff and bruised at first. The problem is, back and neck injuries intensify over time. It can take days, weeks or even months to discover the full extent of the injury. We know that the most important thing is to see a doctor right away and seek legal counsel.

If you've hurt your neck or back because of the negligence of another, you may be eligible for compensation not only for your medical bills, but also lost wages due to inability to work and costs associated with pain and suffering, ongoing therapy and other out-of-pocket expenses.
The types of neck and back injuries that often occur as a result of an accident, and which may be eligible for a personal injury claim, include:
- Soft tissue injuries — these include strains, sprains or other damage to the muscles, ligaments, tendons or nerves
- Spinal cord damage — which can be the result of a vertebral compression fracture
- Whiplash — which is a type of soft tissue injury related to sudden and forceful impact, usually as a result of a motor vehicle accident
- Herniated discs — sometimes referred to as bulging or ruptured discs, which can cause muscle spasms, chronic pain or sciatica
- Quadriplegia or Paraplegia — a paralysis caused by catastrophic damage to the spine
