SPORTING INJURIES

You would probably be surprised at how many people visit attorneys each year because of a back and neck injury which was the result of someone else's negligence. Seeing as the spinal column carries nerves, any back and neck injury a person has could result in a myriad of problems – from chronic pain to more serious problems such as paralysis or even death.

Back and neck injury can encompass strains, ligament tears, bone fractures or nerve damage. Common back and neck injury problems include whiplash, a herniated or slip disc, sciatica, compression fractures or spinal cord injuries. If you have suffered a back and neck injury as the result of someone's negligence you should see an attorney.

Individuals who have a back and neck injury not only have to deal with the physical ramifications of the injury, but also the emotional and financial ramifications of the injury, too. Many people who have a back and neck injury will have lost wages or a major drop in their earning capacity due to the injury. Many people cannot work at all and are forced to go disability. A back and neck injury can affect a person's self image and feelings of self worth. If this sounds familiar to you and your back and neck injury was the result of someone's negligence, you do have rights under the law.

If you are living with the physical, financial and emotional outcome of someone's negligence you have the right to pursue compensation. Not only for the medical expenses you may have been forced to pay, but also for your pain and suffering. You should seek out legal representation as soon as possible after an accident if you have a back and neck injury. Let the professionals step in and represent you against the negligent party so you can concentrate your efforts on getting better.
