Neck Injury Lawyer

Neck injury from a car accident

One of the most common car accident injuries is a neck injury, the most typical example being whiplash. Whiplash tends to damage joints or discs, which in turn irritate nerve roots or possibly the spinal cord.

Depending on the extent of your neck injury, symptoms can include pain, numbness or tingling down the arm, stiffness, dizziness or disturbed sleep.

Neck injuries can sometimes be accompanied by a herniated disc, cervical dislocation, neck fracture or even spinal cord injury. The pain can last for a short term, or for a long term, and for some people, the painful effects of neck injuries can last indefinitely.

Symptoms may be delayed by 24 to 48 hours following the accident.

Other symptoms may include:

Irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating
Stiffness / decreased range of motion in the neck
Pain in the back of the neck that increases with movement
Pain on the sides of the neck
Muscle spasms or pain in the upper regions of the shoulders and back
Headaches
