What Are the Common Causes of Serious Neck Injuries?

Some of the most common causes of neck injuries include the following:

  • Car accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Slip and fall incidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Medical malpractices

Types of Neck Injury

Neck injuries can lead to total physical incapacitation:

Severe whiplash

When the neck is snapped violently forward and backward, such as during a rear-end collision, it can damage the neck structure, leading to months, years, or a lifetime of pain, severe headaches, and mobility issues.

Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

The spine carries the nerves through the body via the spinal cord. When the spinal cord is bruised or severed, the body no longer receives nerve signals from the brain. Spinal cord injuries at the neck can lead to quadriplegia, requiring a lifetime of care at an astronomical cost.

Herniated discs

When one of the disc-like components separating the upper back’s vertebrae is damaged or ripped, this can lead to nerve compression with excruciating pain.

Fractures and broken bones

When any bone in the neck structure has been broken, it is a dire medical situation. The spinal cord is sometimes affected, causing permanent neurological issues.

Compensation For Neck Injuries: What to Expect?

You may be eligible for two types of compensation for damages after a neck injury accident in Palm Springs.

  • Economic: This type of compensation covers actual financial losses. These can be directly quantified by bills, invoices, receipts, and informed estimates regarding lost wages, current and future, estimated future medical costs, and the losses associated with reduced earning potential.
  • Non-economic: These damages include pain, suffering, and emotional trauma due to the lifelong changes caused by severe neck injuries.
  • Punitive: In rare cases where the other party’s actions were grossly negligent, punitive damages may be awarded as a punishment and to deter others from similar behavior.

How a Lawyer Can Help

The medical expenses and rehabilitation time for a neck injury can take years, or the pain and discomfort may never be fully resolved. Accepting a settlement offer from the insurance company without the help of a personal injury lawyer can lead to financial disaster when further medical treatments are needed after signing off on a settlement and losing the right to file another claim. When an experienced legal advocate manages your case, you are protected from being a victim of an insurance company that paid you too little.

When attorney Christopher Vader takes on a neck injury case, he manages all the following vital actions:

  • Collect and analyze evidence
  • Identify all liable parties
  • Evaluate all economic and non-economic losses
  • Negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement
  • Take the case to civil court to achieve justice and fair compensation if needed
