Common Types of Neck and Spine Injuries We Have Dealt With in Personal Injury Cases

Neck and spine injuries can vary greatly in terms of their severity and consequences. Here are some types we worked with in past cases:


  • Whiplash: This is a soft tissue injury caused by a sudden jerking motion of the head, often seen in car accidents. It can result in neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes dizziness or difficulty concentrating.


  • Herniated Disc: Also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, this occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer. This can lead to nerve compression, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs.


  • Spinal Fractures: Fractures can occur in any part of the spine and can range from minor compression fractures to more severe breaks that may require surgery to stabilize the spine.


  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): This is damage to the spinal cord that can result in paralysis or loss of sensation below the level of injury. SCI can occur due to trauma, such as a car accident or fall, or due to diseases like spinal cord tumors or infections.


  • Cervical Sprain/Strain: These are injuries to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons in the neck, often resulting from sudden movements or overuse.


  • Spondylolisthesis: This condition occurs when a vertebra slips out of place and onto the vertebra below it. It can cause lower back pain, numbness or weakness in the legs, and difficulty walking.


  • Spinal Stenosis: This is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.


  • Cervical Radiculopathy: This occurs when a nerve in the neck becomes pinched or irritated, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur. It can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the arm.

Individuals dealing with neck and spine injuries that are the result of someone else's negligence should consult with an experienced personal injury law firm to understand their rights.

Healing from a spinal injury may require rehabilitation, hospital stays, continued medical treatment, assistive devices, financial losses, therapy, and other methods of recuperation. Although these expenses can be costly, they are essential for your well-being.

  • Can I still pursue a personal injury claim if I have a pre-existing neck or spine condition?

    Yes, you may still be able to pursue a personal injury claim even if you had a pre-existing condition, as long as the accident exacerbated or aggravated the condition.

  • What if my neck or spine injury worsens over time?

    If your injury worsens or leads to complications later on, you may still be entitled to compensation. It's crucial to document any changes in your condition and seek medical attention as needed.
