Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Some neck and back injuries can be difficult to detect. After an accident, you should seek treatment immediately to make sure you have not suffered a serious injury. Symptoms that are easy to overlook, such as numbness or a headache, could be indicative of a larger problem.
Previous Neck or Back Injuries
A previous neck or back injury could have a negative impact on your claim, particularly if you do not mention it to your treating physician or attorney. If you have suffered a prior injury, be sure to communicate this to your doctor. This way, we can understand the effect your latest accident had on your injury and work to hold the negligent party accountable for the harm he or she caused you.
Types of Neck and Back Injuries
We help clients who have suffered a wide range of neck and back injuries, including:
- Bulging or herniated disks
- Disk fusion
- Spinal cord injuries
- Nerve damage
- Paralysis, quadriplegia and paraplegia
- Spasming
- Radiculopathy
Within the neck and back, the spinal column carries vital information to the brain. An injury to the neck or back can have a lifelong impact and impede many bodily functions, including your ability to walk. However, even muscle or bone damage in the neck or back can affect your day-to-day life and require extensive treatment or therapy.
We can help you secure compensation for your injuries, including future medical expenses. This could include physical therapy, home remodeling to accommodate a serious disability and other forms of treatment. We often consult with vocational rehabilitation specialists, economists and medical experts in order to assess the full, long-term costs of your injury.
