Recovering Compensation for Back and Spine Injuries in Sherman

Injuries that affect the back and spine can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort, and they can limit a person's ability to move about freely, bend over, lift heavy items, and remain standing or seated for extended periods of time. These issues can make it difficult or impossible for a person to be able to work or perform daily personal tasks, and a serious back injury may not only lead to costly medical bills, but a person may also experience a loss of income. In some cases, spinal cord injuries can lead to permanent disability.

Types of Back and Spine Injuries in Sherman

Injuries affecting the spinal cord or the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the back may occur in car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and other situations where people are put at risk of harm due to the negligence of others. Some common back and spine injuries that can occur in these situations include:

• Fractured vertebrae - The impact of a motor vehicle collision or fall may damage the vertebrae in the spine. This can put pressure on the spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or loss of bodily control. Severe fractures may seriously damage or sever the spinal cord, leading to total paralysis and permanent disabilities.
• Herniated discs - The discs that serve as cushions between the vertebrae in the spine can become damaged when the spine is subjected to sudden impact and compression. Discs may rupture and compress the spinal cord, causing severe pain or partial paralysis. Even if the spinal cord itself is not affected, damaged discs can lead to severe back pain and other ongoing symptoms, and surgery may be needed to correct the damage.
• Whiplash - A sudden jerk of the head and neck can strain or tear the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck. This can lead to severe pain and stiffness that prevents a person from moving their neck properly, as well as numbness or loss of range of motion in the arms and shoulders. Whiplash may also cause damage to the cervical vertebrae, and nerves in the spinal cord or other parts of the neck and shoulders may also be damaged, leading to numbness or paralysis. Other symptoms of whiplash include headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.

Injuries affecting the spinal cord can be especially serious, and depending on where an injury occurred, multiple parts of the body may be affected. Damage to the spine in the neck or upper back may lead to quadriplegia or other forms of paralysis affecting all four limbs and the torso. Injuries affecting the spine in the lower back may lead to paraplegia in which the legs are paralyzed, loss of bladder and bowel control, and other permanent impairments.
