Back and Neck Injuries

Back and neck injuries are very common occurrences in the workplace, in the home, and on the road. The personal injury attorneys at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman, P.C. help individuals who have experienced a back and/or neck injury that is the result of another person or party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm.

Causes of Back and Neck Injuries
Back and neck injuries may result from any number of circumstances, but most commonly occur as a result of:

• auto accidents
• workplace accident
• slip and fall
• motorcycle accidents
• pedestrian accidents

Spinal Cord Damage from Back and Neck Injuries
Back and neck injuries are among the worst types of injuries that a person can incur, in part because the spinal cord that is situated in the back and neck is so important to the body’s functioning. Damage to the spinal cord at any point can result in:

• loss of sensation
• loss of function
• paralysis (temporary or permanent)
• decreased range of motion
• loss of bladder and bowel function
• recurring headaches, dizziness, tingling in ears and/or other body parts
• muscle spasms
• arthritis
• pain - acute and long-lasting

Long-Term Problems from Back and Neck Injuries
In addition, the problems that result from a back or neck injury can be very long lasting, even permanent. Back and neck injuries are often debilitating and traumatic injuries that make it impossible for the injured person to return to his or her job and normal daily activities. Permanent disability is an unfortunately common consequence of a neck or back injury.

A Personal Injury Attorney Can Advise You
When a person has suffered a back and/or neck injury, whether from an auto accident or other circumstance, the costs of that injury may be eligible for reimbursement from the liable party. Recoverable damages often include:

• medical bills
• rehabilitation
• lost wages
• emotional pain and suffering
