Motorcycle accidents often involve serious injuries or death because there is nothing protecting the driver other than a helmet. It is not uncommon for a biker to sustain multiple injuries, translating to the need for extensive medical treatment and various types of rehabilitation as well as time off of work.
Sometimes these injuries are so severe that they are permanently debilitating, preventing the person from returning to work and performing at the same functional level as before the crash. The catastrophic expenses associated with prolonged medical treatment and intense rehabilitation, combined with lost wages, can financially ruin anybody, including those individuals who were under the impression that they had plenty of savings before the crash.
A whiplash is an injury resulting from a sudden jolt to your neck, often sustained in auto accidents. The forceful back and forth motion of your head causes these injuries. They are very common in rear-end auto accidents.
Even a neck injury which is initially diagnosed as a whiplash may actually be a more serious injury of a herniated disc in your neck. Often the emergency room does not perform an MRI to determine if the injury is whiplash or something more serious such as a herniated disc, which often requires surgery to repair.
It is always important to have any neck injury fully examined to rule out any serious injuries. Whiplash symptoms do not always appear immediately. They usually present themselves within 24 -48 hours. Beck & Beck can help.
There are over 10,000 spinal cord injuries sustained in the U.S. annually. Yearly medical care can often result in tens of thousands of dollars, something few Americans can afford. Sadly, many of these 10,000 spinal cord injuries were preventable.
All too often, they are the result of someone else’s negligence. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. Spinal cord injuries are caused when the spine endures a traumatic impact.
