Any accident that causes your head to snap back and forth or other trauma to your neck can result in a cervical spine injury. Common injuries include:
Complications from a cervical spine injury can include paralysis from the neck down or stability issues. Some accident victims are confined to wheelchairs because the spinal cord was severed. Others may have issues moving their head. No matter how minor or severe the injury, physical therapy is needed to help a person recover as much as possible.
Sometimes, physical therapy will only do so much, and a person may plateau in their recovery. This means they may not get any better beyond a certain point. This can be very expensive, and insurance companies will not always pay if someone else is responsible for the injury.
Cervical spine injuries can be very expensive to treat now and in the future, so it is very important that you do not have to shoulder the financial burden for something that was not your fault. If another person or unsafe working conditions caused your injury, you need to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
