If you have suffered a spinal, neck, or back injury because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation for your medical expenses and damages. Our personal injury attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC, can help you seek compensation.
When a person behaves carelessly on the road, at their business, or within the home, innocent people are often left feeling the effects. Careless actions can quickly lead to injuries, which can sometimes be severe.
Back, Neck & Spine Injuries:
Car accidents are a common cause of damage to the spinal cord, neck, or back. An accident is likely when a person drives recklessly, speeding or disobeying traffic signs. Other people may drive while distracted, which impacts response time and steering ability. Driving while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol is equally dangerous.
In other cases, neglected property may cause severe slips and falls. Property owners are obligated by the law to keep safe premises that do not cause harm to others. When they’re derelict in their duties, whether that entails failing to fix a broken sidewalk or not having processes in place to clean up spills in a retail establishment, subsequent injuries can include damage to the spinal cord.
A common neck injury from a car accident is whiplash, which is a quick jerk of the neck from being hit. Whiplash typically does not result in tissue dislocation or fracture, so physical recovery of the actual injury is relatively short. However, whiplash can cause severe acute (short-term) pain and chronic pain that may require specialized care to manage.
