CERVICAL INJURIES |
|
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Database motor vehicle crashes have accounted for about 36% of all new spinal cord injuries in the U.S. Automobile accidents remain the number one cause of spinal injury. Cervical injuries occur when the muscles in the neck are strained or sprained resulting in minor damage of the surrounding soft tissue. A major cause of cervical injury is whiplash from an accident. Whiplash can be caused by car accidents at speeds of only 25 miles per hour. Whiplash occurs when the neck is quickly snapped forwards or backwards causing the ligaments of the neck to tear. Symptoms of neck pain may be delayed by hours or days due to adrenalin being present in the body after an accident. If you were involved in an auto accident, it is important to protect your legal rights. Review the "10 Rules to follow if you are in an accident" instructions provided. Then call a personal injury lawyer.
