San Jose, CA Neck Injury Lawyer

Neck injuries are among the most serious and debilitating, because your neck is part of your spine, which affects every aspect of your life. The neck, or cervical spine, is the most exposed part of the spine, consisting of the top seven vertebrae. When your neck has been injured, it can cause a variety of serious short and long-term problems. These include things like immobility, weakness, paralysis, extreme physical pain, and sometimes death. When you’ve been in an accident that involves a neck injury, you deserve the experience California personal injury attorney that Louis Abronson and his associates can bring to your case. The attorneys at the Abronson Law Offices have a notable record of success in getting money for clients who have suffered neck injuries from motor vehicle accidents, falls, workplace accidents, and others where negligence was involved.

Types of Neck Injuries

  • Neck strain: Injury to any neck muscles involving a tear. This results in the inability to move your head and perform basic tasks. It can cause spasms in the injured and surrounding muscles.
  • Herniated disc: Spinal discs weaken and the gelatinous cushion bulges out from between the vertebrae, irritating sensitive nerves and often causing weakness, tingling, and numbness in the shoulder or arm. Herniated discs in the neck often require surgical removal of the disc (discectomy) and cervical spinal fusion.
  • Fractured vertebrae: When a vertebra is fractured, bone fragments can pinch or irritate the spinal nerves or spinal cord. Serious fractures generally require surgery to align the fragments. Without prompt treatment, unstable fractures can permanently damage the spinal cord and cause paralysis.
  • Contusions: Bruising of your spinal cord in the cervical spine can cause inflammation and sometimes paralysis.
  • Quadriplegia: When the spinal cord in the neck area is seriously damaged, paralysis of the body below the injury is often the result.

Taking Action

Neck injuries can place severe limitations on your ability to work and do the things you enjoy in life. When someone else’s act caused your injury, you are entitled to make a claim against that person to compensate you for what you’ve suffered and lost.

While you may be considering trying to negotiate a settlement directly with the claims adjuster from the at-fault party’s insurance company, you should resist the temptation. You might get a quick settlement, but it will usually be a fraction of what you would expect to get when represented by an experienced personal injury lawyer. These cases require experience, legal knowledge, and an understanding of how the insurance industry works. Unless you know your injury is very minor, it is not in your best interest to talk to an insurance adjuster without first consulting a California personal injury attorney.
