Types of Neck Injuries

A variety of accidents can cause damage to the neck. Common types of neck injuries suffered in accidents include:

  • Whiplash: This injury, common in rear-end collisions, is named for the whip-like motion of the head and neck when a vehicle is hit from behind. Whiplash involves damage to the soft tissues of the neck, including nerves, muscles, and ligaments. It can cause a range of symptoms, including neck pain and stiffness, headache, dizziness, and tingling, numbness, or weakness in the neck and arms.
  • Sprains and strains: Certain types of injuries, including motor vehicle accidents and falls, can strain the muscles and sprain the ligaments in the neck. Pain caused by this type of injury is aggravated by activity.
  • Nerve pinch injury: A nerve in the neck that is pinched or compromised can send sharp, shooting sensations through the neck and arms. Nerve pinch injuries are also known as “stingers” or “burners.”
  • Disk injury: When a vertebral disk is damaged, the nerves in the neck can become irritated, causing pain that travels from the neck into the legs.
  • Vertebral fracture: A motor vehicle crash, slip and fall, or another type of accident can fracture a vertebra in the neck. This is a medical emergency, as fractured vertebrae can damage the spinal cord, causing paralysis or death.
  • Spinal cord damage: An accident serious enough to disrupt the vertebrae designed to protect the spinal cord can cause spinal cord injury in the cervical spine. Car accidents and motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries.

Common Causes of Neck Injuries

The neck is a vital and vulnerable part of the body. Damage to the neck may be caused by various accidents and activities. Common causes of neck injuries include:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Falling objects
  • Sports and diving accidents

Who Is Liable for Neck Injuries?

Liability for neck injuries will depend on what caused the accident and the surrounding circumstances. If your neck was injured in a traffic crash caused by another driver who was distracted, alcohol-impaired, or negligent in some way, you may have a claim against the at-fault driver. You may have a premises liability claim against the property owner if your neck injuries were caused by a falling object or a slip and fall accident.
