Have You Sustained a Neck Injury as a Result of a Motorcycle Accident?

Have you sustained a neck injury as a result of a motorcycle accident? One of the most common injuries which result in a motorcycle accident are injuries to the neck and spine. The human spine is compromised of three segments that are all connected to form the spine. They include the: lumbar (lower), thoracic (mid/upper), and cervical (upper/neck) spine. Neck injuries can have a very severe impact on your daily life because movement in the neck is involved in almost all daily activities.

The most common neck injuries that can occur are typical sprains and strains. These are what are commonly known as “whiplash” type injuries that can be very troublesome and require physical therapy and chiropractic treatment to heal. Higher impact motorcycle accidents may cause more severe neck injuries such as disc herniations and displacements. A neck injury can take more time to fully heal, and may even require surgical procedures such as disc dissection and disc fusion to properly heal. Due to the serious nature of these types of injuries, orthopedic consultation is highly recommended, as are diagnostic testing such as x-rays and MRI’s to discover the extent of injury.

Accordingly, if you have sustained a neck injury as a result of a motorcycle accident it is important that you seek immediate medical consultation from the emergency department or your primary care physician in order to evaluate your injuries. After getting properly evaluated, and receiving recommendations on how to treat your symptoms, it is important to consult with an experienced motorcycle accident and injury attorney to discuss your legal options in pursuing a claim for your medical bills, and injuries from the accident.
