Neck & Back Injuries
When people think of car accident injuries, neck and back injuries often come to mind, especially
whiplash. The spine is a very delicate part of the human body. Extreme forces like the impact of a
car crash can throw the spine out of alignment. Such injuries can cause severe pain and may even debilitate a person. If you have been involved in a crash and your neck and/or back is in pain, learn the options available to you before your finances are severely and adversely affected.
The most common neck injury caused by accidents is whiplash. This injury usually occurs when someone is rear-ended and the head snaps forward and backward very suddenly, damaging the soft tissues, nerves, ligaments, or muscles in the neck. Movement is painful and limited. Treatment can include any combination of the following:
- Medication;
- Orthopedic therapy;
- Physical therapy; and
- Chiropractic therapy
Some other serious spinal injuries from accidents include compression fractures, herniations, bulging, slipped or ruptured disks. These types of injuries normally require medical care, even surgery, and result in high medical bills. Persons who have suffered such injuries because of the negligence of another driver should fight for fair compensation. A car accident lawyer in Houston can help you do exactly that.
