Whiplash, often associated with rear-end collisions, occurs when the neck and head are suddenly jolted forward and then snapped back. This fast and rapid movement can strain or tear muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and restricted movement.
Herniated disks, also known as slipped or ruptured disks, can occur when the soft cushion-like disks between the vertebrae of the spine bulge or rupture. This can result in intense pain, feelings of numbness, tingling, and weakness in the back and limbs, often requiring medical intervention such as physical therapy or surgery.
Compression fractures are common in accidents involving significant force or trauma to the spine, such as falls or motor vehicle accidents. These fractures occur when the vertebrae in the spine collapse or become compressed, leading to things such as severe pain and potential nerve damage.
Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences, impacting mobility, sensation, and bodily function below the site of the injury. These types of injuries often result from high-impact accidents like car accidents or falls and can lead to potential paralysis, loss of bladder or bowel control, and chronic pain.

If you accept this compensation, your claim will be closed, and you won’t have the opportunity to reopen it later if you believe you deserve more.
