How Neck Injuries Occur

Like any other catastrophic injury , neck injuries can occur as a result of a variety of accidents. Even a seemingly minor accident, such as a “fender bender,” can lead to severe whiplash which may affect the victim’s everyday life.

Some of the most common causes of neck injuries include:

• Car accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Pedestrian accidents

Neck injuries range in type and severity, from soft tissue neck injuries to those that affect the spinal cord and central nervous system. Common neck injuries include muscle strains, neck sprains, “pinched” nerves, whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders, herniated/bulging discs, fractures, and more.

Our Firm Will Fight for You

Regardless of the type of neck injury you have sustained or how it occurred, you are likely facing many challenges ahead. Neck injuries can require extensive medical treatment, which can be very costly. You may be out of work, either temporarily or permanently, placing additional financial strain on yourself and your family. And, of course, there are numerous physical and emotional challenges associated with being involved in a major accident, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) .

At Farmer and Klopfer Law Firm, we understand what you are facing. We also understand how to take on insurance companies and other liable parties. These entities do not have your best interests in mind—but we do. Our award-winning Waldorf neck injury attorneys are prepared to fight for you every step of the way.

Commonly Asked Questions About Neck Injuries

How do I know if my neck injury is serious?

If you cannot move your neck at all without sharp pain, then your neck injury could be serious. Other signs of a serious neck injury are numbness to a body part, swelling in the neck, and a cracking sound when moving. You should see a medical professional as soon as possible if you have been in an accident that might have hurt your neck. Only a doctor can accurately diagnose the severity of your neck injury.

What are the most common types of neck injuries?

Small fractures to the neck bones and soft tissue injuries to the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments are among the most common types of neck injuries. Even though these injuries might seem minor, they can cause harsh consequences. Whiplash is also a common neck injury suffered mostly by people in car accidents.

What is the most common cause of a neck injury?

Car accidents are among the most common causes of neck injuries in the United States. Each day, hundreds of people are seriously injured in an auto accident, and many of them will suffer some sort of neck injury like whiplash.

Can a neck injury cause paralysis?

Damage to the bones, tendons, and muscles of the neck can cause debilitation. Damage to the spinal cord within the neck can cause paralysis. Spinal cord damage that far up the spine can be catastrophic and cause quadriplegia or paralysis in all four limbs.

How does a lawyer figure out how much a neck injury claim is worth?

A neck injury attorney can calculate the worth of a client’s claim by adding together all of their damages, including those that will be incurred in the future. Medical treatments, missing wages, reduced income capacity, permanent disability, and pain and suffering are often the main components that come together to create a damage total.
