How Serious Can Neck and Back Injuries Be After an Accident?
According to the National Institutes of Health, between 60% and 80% of adults will experience back pain, and between 20% and 70% of adults will experience neck pain that interferes with their ability to perform daily tasks at some point. Regrettably, there are many instances where people are left with this pain due to accidents. Unfortunately, neck and back injuries from accidents can be extremely serious.
How Do You Know If You Have a Serious Neck Injury?
Neck injury is a common consequence of accidents. Motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and any other type of accident in which impact to the head, neck, or back is possible can result in damage, but identifying a neck injury can be very difficult if you’re not certain what to look for.
Common Slip & Fall Injuries
Slip and fall accidents are common in retail establishments, on sidewalks, around pools, and in other situations where wet or slippery conditions may exist. When these accidents happen on someone else’s property – property that should have been maintained and kept safe – you may be entitled to seek compensation. The severity of your injury should dictate which direction seeking compensation takes.
