Back and neck injuries are among the most common reasons people file personal injury claims. They can be painful, costly, and often life-changing. At Kelleher Law, we represent victims in Naples and Fort Myers, Florida, and Roswell, Georgia, who have suffered back or neck injuries due to the negligence of others.
Auto Accidents
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of spinal injuries. Even a “minor” crash can result in whiplash, herniated discs, or other spinal trauma. High-speed collisions, trucking accidents, and motorcycle crashes often cause more severe, permanent damage.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Falls on wet floors, uneven pavement, or poorly lit stairways often lead to back and neck injuries. These accidents are especially dangerous for older adults and can result in fractures, nerve damage, or long-term mobility issues.
Workplace Accidents
Jobs that require heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or work in unsafe environments can cause serious back and neck injuries. Construction workers, warehouse employees, and healthcare staff are at particular risk. In many cases, workers’ compensation benefits may apply.
Sports and Recreational Injuries
Contact sports, boating mishaps, or even gym accidents can lead to strains, sprains, or spinal fractures. While some recover quickly, others may need surgery or long-term physical therapy.
Violent Incidents and Assaults
Unfortunately, some back and neck injuries occur from intentional harm. Victims of assaults or negligent security cases may experience lasting spinal damage and emotional trauma.
Why These Injuries Should Never Be Ignored
Even if you walk away from an accident feeling “okay,” back and neck injuries often develop slowly. Untreated injuries may lead to:
- Chronic pain
- Reduced mobility
- Nerve damage
- Permanent disability
Seeking immediate medical attention not only protects your health but also strengthens your legal claim.
