Ohio Neck Injuries Lawyers
Much like a back injury, a neck injury tends to cause pain and additional discomfort no matter what you are doing. Even sitting, standing or sleeping may become impossible if your neck or spine is injured. Your ability to accomplish work activities or daily tasks may be compromised.
Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) benefits and workers' compensation. If your work injury was caused by a negligent third party, you may be able to collect additional damages. Stein, Chapin & Associates, L.L.C., can represent you in any or all of these claims. For a free consultation, please call our experienced attorneys at 614-360-2637 or 888-899-3586, or contact us online.
Pain, Numbness and Loss of Motion
Injuries to the neck area and spinal cord can include herniated discs, compressed discs, ruptured discs, slipped discs and fused discs. Degenerative disc disease, which is caused by wear and tear on the discs, is another common problem.
Spinal and neck injuries can be the result of accidents and work-related activity. Some of the causes we see most often are:
- Workplace accidents
- Car, motorcycle and truck accidents
- Failed neck surgery
- Repetitive stress/motions
Neck injuries have many similarities to back injuries because they both often involve trauma to the spinal cord and discs. When the spine is affected, the symptoms are not limited to the neck area. Pain, numbness and loss of motion often spread to other parts of the body.
Typical symptoms of neck and spinal injuries include:
- Severe pain in the affected area
- Pain, tingling and numbness in the arms, hands, legs and feet
- Permanent loss of range of motion
- Paralysis, paraplegia and quadriplegia
If you or a loved one suffers from these injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Please call our office at 614-360-2637 or 888-899-3586 to schedule an appointment with our Columbus spine injury lawyers today.
