Personal injury attorneys represent the victims of cervical spine injuries and their families, who may be putting a lot of financial resources into the care and rehabilitation of the victim. Depending on the severity of the spinal cord damage, the accident could result in severe pain, permanent paralysis, or death.
The cervical spine is located in the neck and is frequently damaged by trauma from:
- Falls
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Whiplash trauma
- Gunshot or stabbing wounds
- Head trauma
- Motorcycle/bicycle accidents
Our spinal cord lawyer can explain the law and evaluate a case to determine the victim’s rights. A reputable attorney will research a case thoroughly to determine the likelihood of winning a cervical spine injury case and will not charge for legal counsel until the lawsuit is won. In many cases, the lawsuit will be settled out of court, resulting in a quicker settlement and lower legal fees for the victim.
Types of Cervical Spine Injuries
Injuries to the cervical spine can include whiplash, a ruptured disc, facet joint syndrome, and other serious conditions. Some of these, such as facet joint syndrome, can cause extreme discomfort, limiting a person’s range of motion and making him unable to move easily. The effects of this syndrome can be permanent, causing a lifetime of pain and disability for the victim.
