Neck, Back And Spinal Cord Injuries from Vehicle Accidents

Consider for just a moment the physical force generated by a car accident where a mid-size vehicle is going only about 30 miles per hour.  In that scenario, several tons of physical force can bear down on your body faster than you can blink.  You can see how that amount of energy, all compressing your body, can cause life changing Neck.  Back and Spinal Cord injuries.  

These cases are serious, complicated and require a deep understanding of the law – That’s why  you need to call Lenahan & Dempsey at 1.888.536.2426

Common Types of Neck Injuries We See At Lenahan & Dempsey
1. Whiplash

One of the most commonly reported serious neck injuries in all types of vehicle accidents is whiplash. Caused by the sudden snapping motion of the head, whiplash can lead to severe pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Symptoms may not appear immediately, making it essential for victims to seek medical attention even if they feel fine right after the incident.

2. Cervical Strain

Cervical strain takes place when the muscles and ligaments in the neck are overstretched. This can cause devastating pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the neck. Treatment usually involves physical therapy and pain management.

3. Herniated Discs

A herniated disc in the cervical spine can press on nearby nerves, causing significant pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms, fingers or legs. This injury often requires more extensive medical care including possibly surgery. Herniated Discs can also commonly require long periods of recovery.  

4. Spinal Cord Injuries

Severe accidents can lead to spinal cord injuries, which may result in full or partial paralysis or loss of sensation below the injury site. This type of injury can be life-altering and requires immediate medical attention, often surgery, and long-term and often painful rehabilitation.

Common Types of Back Injuries We Have Handled At Our Offices

1. Lumbar Strains

These strains occur when the muscles in the lower back are overstretched or torn, causing pain and limited mobility. Treatment typically includes rest, ice, and physical therapy.

2. Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, often triggered by a herniated disc. This can lead to intense pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in the lower back and legs and are common after vehicle accidents.

3. Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can compress spinal nerves, resulting in significant pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Treatment options may range from conservative management to surgical intervention.

4. Spinal Fractures

Fractures in the vertebrae can occur due to high-impact crashes. These injuries can lead to severe pain and instability in the spine, often requiring surgical intervention and extensive rehabilitation.
