These types of injuries often leave accident victims in severe and debilitating pain. It is not uncommon for back and neck injuries to be caused by another\u2019s negligence. While auto accidents contribute to a majority of back and neck injuries, they can also occur as a result of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Motorcycle Crashes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slip and Fall Accidents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-the-Job Injuries, such as lifting heavy objects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or a loved one has sustained a back or neck injury due to no fault of your own, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for damages related to the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin exploring your legal options, contact our back and neck injury attorneys today by completing the Free Case Review form to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Back and Neck Injuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human back is an intricate structure of bones, muscles and other tissues that begin at the neck and go all the way down to the tailbone. Back and neck injuries can be separated into two categories: overuse injuries and acute injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Overuse Injuries<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overuse injuries can be a result of improper movements when lifting, standing, walking or sitting. A truck driver can suffer an overuse back or neck injury from sitting behind the wheel for long periods of time, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symptoms of overuse injuries appear gradually or when an individual is performing common, everyday activities. Common signs of an overuse injury include muscle spasms, pain and stiffness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Acute Injuries<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It only takes an instant for an acute injury to happen. These types of injuries cause victims sudden and severe pain. It is not uncommon for swelling and bruising to occur at the injury location. Sprains, strains, fractures and ruptured discs are all considered to be acute injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Torn or Ruptured Discs<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discs in a human spine act as cushions between the spine and vertebrae. Sometimes, the material inside the disc can bulge out of place, causing pressure on the nerve. On occasion, a victim can have a bulging disc without experiencing any kind of discomfort or pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Spinal Fractures and Dislocations<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spinal fractures can be classified as a fracture, dislocation or fracture-dislocation. A spinal fracture happens when more pressure is placed on the bone than it can handle. Spinal dislocations happen when the ligaments and discs that connect two vertebrae are torn or stretched, which can sometimes cause the bone to come out of alignment. When the bone is both broken and the ligaments are torn, this type of injury is considered a spinal fracture-dislocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Sprains and Strains<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strain is an injury to the muscles and tendons in the back or neck; they can occur from the twisting or pulling of a muscle or tendon. When an individual stretches or tears a ligament, it is considered to be a sprain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact an Experienced Alabama Back and Neck Injury Attorney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you believe that you have suffered a back or neck injury in an Alabama auto accident, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
