BACK AND NECK INJURIES
At Delventhal Law Office, we understand how difficult it can be to recover from a neck or back injury following an accident. Our team has worked closely for years to get our clients the compensation they deserve when their injuries are the fault of someone else.
Some back or neck injuries are minor and can respond to conservative treatment after a few weeks. Other injuries, however, are life changing. If you have been injured in an accident, please contact a Fort Wayne back and neck injury lawyer today to schedule a consultation.
COMMON INJURIES
In many types of accidents, the traumatic impact can damage the neck and back. Some of the more common injuries include:
- Whiplash and other soft-tissue neck injuries in workplace car accidents
- Compressed nerves
- Back sprain or strain
- Herniated discs in the back
- Broken neck
- Fractures in the back, including lumbar fracture
- Spinal cord injury, which can result in paraplegia or quadriplegia
In some cases, it is not unusual for accident victims to feel “okay” following a workplace accident, such as a car crash or slip and fall. It might be a day or two before they start to recognize stiffness and pain in their neck or back, which quickly degenerates. At that point, they should immediately go to the hospital to have a doctor look at them. Different diagnostic tests can include X-rays and MRIs which might identify the problem before it becomes too serious.
RECOVERY
Our clients are anxious to recover as soon as possible so they can return to their normal lives. Many are in so much pain they cannot work, which is costing them much-needed income.
Recovery from a neck or back injury depends on the particular injury and its severity. Mild whiplash might clear in a month or so with painkillers and massage to introduce movement again. More serious whiplash could cause problems for 6 months or longer.
If you need surgery to treat your condition, then you could also develop complications. Surgery often requires extensive recovery time, which can become harder as we age.
If you have a spinal cord injury, then there is a good chance that the injury is permanent. Rehabilitation and surgery can help some people recover movement and sensation, if the spinal cord was only minimally damaged. However, a full sever of the spinal cord will result in paralysis below the point of injury.
