Back and neck injuries are some of the most common-and most debilitating-injuries people face after accidents. Whether caused by a car crash, workplace incident, slip and fall, or sports injury, these injuries can leave victims struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, and time away from work. At Kelleher Law, we help clients in Naples and Fort Myers, Florida, as well as Roswell, Georgia, recover the compensation they need to move forward.
Why Back and Neck Injuries Are So Serious
Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen over time and have long-term consequences. The spine is a complex system, and damage can disrupt nerves, muscles, and overall mobility.
- Common Causes of Back and Neck Injuries
- Car accidents and motorcycle crashes
- Trucking accidents involving high-impact collisions
- Slip and fall accidents on unsafe property
- Workplace injuries, especially in construction or lifting jobs
- Sports accidents or recreational injuries
Types of Back and Neck Injuries
Victims of back and neck trauma may face a wide range of conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Whiplash
- Spinal fractures
- Pinched nerves
- Muscle and ligament strains
- Chronic pain syndromes
- Partial or complete paralysis in severe cases
Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
Back and neck injuries don’t always cause immediate pain. Warning signs include:
- Numbness or tingling in arms, legs, hands, or feet
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Severe headaches or dizziness
- Weakness or loss of coordination
- Shooting pain down the spine or limbs
Prompt medical treatment is critical, both for your health and for documenting your claim.
Compensation for Back and Neck Injury Victims
The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these injuries can be overwhelming. Victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (surgeries, therapy, medication)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation and long-term care
- Wrongful death benefits in fatal cases
