Dealing With the Common Back Injury After a Car Accident Car accident victims can suffer a number of different injuries to virtually any part of their body. One of the most common types of injuries suffered by drivers and passengers in an accident is back injury. Back injuries can seriously impact the victim's life because the pain often affects the other parts of the body, including the neck, head, and arms.
Symptoms of Back Injuries Symptoms of back injuries, even the most serious type, may take days or even weeks to surface after a car accident. If you suffer from any of the symptoms listed below, you should seek immediate medical attention: • Numbness or altered feelings in the upper inner thighs, groin area or buttock • Headaches • Feeling soar all over • Inability to sit still or lay down for an extended period of time • Stiffness in your back or neck
Types of Back Injuries Associated With Car Accidents:- The back is a delicate and complex structure, made up of bones, nerves and tissues. A car accident, even one that is low impact, may cause severe injury to your back. Some common types of back injuries associated with automobile collisions include: Disc injuries :- The impact may cause damage to a disc in your back, causing it to break or deform. Disc injuries may lead to a more serious condition known as sciatica, causing shooting pain and numbness in the leg. Physical therapy and other treatment will be prescribes to ease the pain and to restore the flexibility of the spine. In some cases when disc can't be heal on its own surgery may be necessary.
Spinal cord injuries:- The spinal cord is the bundle of important nerves that carry nerve signals and impulse to and from the brain to the rest of the body. Spinal cord injuries often occur in car accidents where the impact causes a blow to the spine and damages the delicate bundle of nerves within it. Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or total paralysis, leaving the brain unable to communicate with the body. Vertebral fractures:- Car accident victims, who suffer fractures or tiny cracks in the bones, may ultimately suffer a collapse or deformity of their vertebrae. Victims may have severe pain, difficulty walking, or even paralysis. Some minor fractures can be healed with conservative treatment but in some serious cases surgery can be the last resort.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident that was caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another party, you should immediately contact an experienced Car Accident Lawyer to help you protect your legal rights. Gersowitz, Libo & Korek, P.C.
