Neck Injuries

    NEW YORK, NY, August 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Neck injuries are among the most common injuries in car accidents, although they can also occur in other situations that involve a jarring impact.

Neck injuries are also frequently the result of:

- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents

Neck injuries can cause everything from minor temporary discomfort to long-term pain to paralysis. Because medical costs and rehabilitation expenses associated with neck injuries are high, it's important to contact an experienced personal injury attorney if your neck injury was caused by the negligence of another person. A qualified personal injury lawyer help you pursue financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, vocational rehabilitation, and other related damages while you focus on your recovery.

The most common type of neck injury in a motor vehicle accident is whiplash, the potential severity of which is often downplayed by insurance adjustors. Like other relatively "minor" neck injuries, whiplash can lead to chronic, progressive discomfort.

Neck injuries can also involve herniated discs, ruptured discs, cervical dislocations, vertebra fractures and extensive spinal cord damage, which can cause lifetime impaired mobility. In some instances, neck injuries can be fatal.

An attorney with experience handling neck injury cases will understand the broad effects neck injuries can have on your life. Your lawyer can use this knowledge to fight for the monetary compensation you need and peace of mind you deserve when you've suffered a potentially life-altering neck injury.

If you were involved in a traffic accident, it's important to undergo a medical evaluation as soon as possible to check for possible neck injuries. The symptoms of some neck injuries are not immediately apparent, and refusing immediate medical attention could allow otherwise minor problems to become severe.
