Common Causes of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can happen in a variety of ways, often as a result of another party’s negligence. Understanding the cause of your injury is critical to building a strong case and establishing liability. Common causes of neck injuries include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Rear-end collisions frequently cause whiplash and other neck injuries due to the sudden jolt.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls, especially from heights or on hard surfaces, can result in severe neck and spinal injuries.
- Workplace Accidents: Unsafe conditions or improper handling of heavy materials can lead to neck injuries, particularly in physically demanding jobs.
- Sports and Recreational Injuries: Contact sports or activities like cycling and skiing can lead to neck injuries from impact or falls.
- Medical Malpractice: In some cases, improper handling during medical procedures can lead to neck or spinal damage.
- Assault and Physical Trauma: Physical violence or attacks can cause serious neck injuries, including fractures and nerve damage.
Identifying the cause of your injury allows us to hold the appropriate parties accountable and pursue compensation that fully addresses your needs.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Neck Injuries?
Liability in neck injury cases depends on the circumstances of the accident and any negligence that may have contributed to your injury. At PCLC, our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case to identify all responsible parties, which may include:
- Other Drivers: In car accidents, the at-fault driver is typically liable for resulting neck injuries.
- Employers: In workplace incidents, the employer may be liable if the injury resulted from inadequate safety measures or unsafe conditions.
- Property Owners: If a neck injury occurred due to unsafe premises, the property owner might be held responsible.
- Medical Professionals: In cases involving medical malpractice, the healthcare provider or facility may be liable for causing or exacerbating neck injuries.
- Manufacturers: If a defective product contributed to the injury, the manufacturer or distributor may share liability.
- Assailants: In cases of assault, the attacker can be held liable for damages, and in some cases, third parties may also share responsibility.
Our attorneys work diligently to identify every potential source of liability, ensuring that you receive the maximum compensation available.
Common Injuries in Neck Injury Cases
Neck injuries can vary in severity but often lead to significant and lasting physical challenges. Common injuries associated with neck trauma include:
- Whiplash: One of the most common neck injuries, whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward or backward, often leading to chronic pain and limited mobility.
- Herniated Discs: The spinal discs in the neck can rupture or slip out of place, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms and hands.
- Fractured Vertebrae: Neck fractures are serious injuries that can lead to spinal cord damage and may require surgical intervention.
- Pinched Nerves: Neck injuries often involve nerve compression, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness in the arms, hands, or shoulders.
- Soft Tissue Damage: Muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck can be strained or torn, leading to stiffness, pain, and difficulty moving.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe neck injuries can damage the spinal cord, resulting in partial or complete paralysis and requiring long-term medical care.
