Types of Back and neck injuries
Your back and neck are crucial to your bodily function. They are also sensitive and can suffer injuries in many situations. These areas have muscles, soft tissues, cartilage, a system of nerves, and vertebrae. Any of these areas can suffer an injury leading to lifelong pain. Many of these injuries can lead to paralysis or death. Some of the most common back and neck injuries our clients suffer include:
- Pinched nerves
- Whiplash
- Compression fractures
- Spinal cord injury
- Damaged trachea or larynx
- Neck sprains or strains
- Broken vertebrae
Treatment for these injuries will vary. They often require ongoing therapy, medications, spinal injections, and surgery. Aside from the medical treatment, these injuries can also prevent you from working. The pain is overwhelming and makes it impossible to participate in many careers. You must have a back and neck injury attorney fighting for your rights. Spaulding Injury Law understands the difficulties you are facing. Our compassionate team wants to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
Whiplash injuries
Whiplash is a common neck injury that is also very contentious during insurance claims. It is a soft tissue injury that happens when your body jolts back and forth with intensity. The force used will hyper-extend the bones in your neck, which damages your muscles and tendons. The symptoms of these injuries will vary and can range from discomfort to disability. Whiplash symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Jaw pain
- Ringing in your ears
- Dizziness
- Shoulder and arm pain
- Headaches
- Vision problems
These symptoms will have an impact on your daily life. You cannot perform daily tasks and activities like working or caring for yourself. The incident causes you injury, and the pain and suffering you are experiencing can also lead to psychological issues. You can begin to suffer from PTSD, depression, anger, and anxiety.
Causes of neck and back injuries in Buford
The most common cause of back and neck injuries is motor vehicle collisions. That is not the only cause, however. You can also suffer back and neck injuries on unsafe premises, from defective products, and more. Medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and other incidents can cause back and neck injuries.
Construction sites are hazardous. There is the possibility of an accident at every turn. There is heavy machinery that can lead to an injury or the chance that you fall from heights. Overuse injuries are also possible when you repeatedly perform the same physically demanding task. You must speak to a back and neck injury lawyer when you suffer a back or neck injury in Buford. We will review how the injury occurred and your legal remedies moving forward.
Long-term health effects of back and neck injuries
Since these injuries are often severe, they can leave long-term impacts on your life. Even with treatment, you can suffer a range of ongoing physical problems. You can suffer:
- Loss of balance
- Fatigue
- Chronic pain
- Permanent disability
- Reduced mobility
- Muscle weakness and stiffness
You will also suffer emotional injuries that can lower your quality of life. Your physical and emotional state will impact your participation in previously enjoyable activities.
Dealing with the insurance company
Insurance companies will pretend they are there for you, but they are a profitable business. They want you to trust them to offer you a low settlement. They are also swooping in at the beginning of the claim so they do not have to consider long-term expenses. Our law firm knows these tactics and how to fight back.
Let the team at Spaulding Injury Law deal with the insurance company. We will fight against the insurance company and stand up for your rights. You must keep some things in mind:
- Resist the inclination to accept an early insurance offer
- Refuse to make a recorded statement without your injury lawyer present
- Take notes about every interaction with the insurance adjuster
- Remain calm and polite when talking to insurance adjusters and refer them to your lawyer
- Let your back and neck injury lawyer negotiate on your behalf.
The challenges of medical expenses for back and neck injury cases
Proving back and neck injury claims is complex. You will need health care treatment records, medical testimony, and witness statements. Even with all of this evidence, proving your case can still be challenging. Determining who is responsible for your injury and holding them accountable is another challenge.
Medical expenses will rise substantially throughout a back or neck injury treatment. You will need emergency medical care, diagnostic studies, braces, surgery, and medications. You will also have ongoing medical care costs. These ongoing expenses include home modifications, assistive devices, physical therapy, and prescription medications.
Another complication of these injuries is you cannot return to work. The pain and impairment these injuries leave are permanent. Fortunately, the legal team from Spaulding Injury Law knows what it takes to build a strong case and how to handle the insurance companies.
