Back and Neck Injury Lawsuits

In many auto accidents, injury victims often experience neck and back pain due to the whipping motion that vehicle occupants often endure at the point of impact.

However, these injuries often do not surface until days after the crash has taken place.

Types of Back and Neck Injuries

The human back is an intricate structure of muscles, bone and other tissues that begin at the neck and go all the way down the spine to the tailbone. These types of injuries can be separated into acute and overuse injuries:

Acute Injuries

Acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, fractures and ruptured discs, can cause injury victims sudden and severe pain. It only takes an instant for an acute injury to happen.

• Sprains and Strains – Injury to the muscles and tendons in the back or neck is considered a strain. Strains can happen from twisting or pulling a tendon or muscle. A sprain happens when an individual stretches or tears a ligament.
• Spinal Fractures and Dislocations – This type of acute back and neck injury can be separated into three categories: fractures, dislocations or fracture-dislocations. A spinal fracture happens when more pressure is placed on the bone than it can handle. Spinal dislocations happen when the ligaments and discs that connect two vertebrae are torn or stretched, which can sometimes cause the bone to come out of alignment. When the bone is both broken and the ligaments are torn, this type of injury is considered a spinal fracture-dislocation.
• Torn or Ruptured Discs – When the material inside a disc bulges out of place, there can be a great amount of pressure placed on a nerve. The discs in the spine act as cushions between the spine and vertebrae. Sometimes, a victim can suffer from a bulging disc without experiencing any kind of discomfort or pain.

Overuse Injuries

These types of injuries can happen as a result of improper movements when lifting, standing, walking or sitting. For example, a truck driver can suffer from an overuse back or neck injury after sitting behind the wheel for an extended period of time.

Symptoms of overuse injuries appear gradually over time or when a person is performing common, everyday activities. Common signs of this type of injury include muscle spasms, pain and stiffness.
