Dangerous Injuries
The cervical spine is the uppermost part of the spinal column. It is also referred to as the neck. Damage to this area can come in a variety of forms. Even minor damage caused by a cervical spine fracture can lead to painful and persistent medical conditions.
Whiplash Cases
While not all whiplash cases involve a fracture, they can involve a serious sprain of the cervical spine. Most of the damage is to the ligaments and supporting muscles. This type of neck injury is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents in which the head is violently whipped back and forth.
Although whiplash is often a minor issue, in severe cases it can be a serious problem that requires extensive medical intervention.
Broken Necks
On the other end of the spectrum of cervical spine fractures are broken necks. These are cases in which the damage goes beyond the bone, impacting the spinal cord and causing temporary or permanent paralysis.
Immediate medical care is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, victims of a broken neck may require expensive lifelong care due to paraplegia or quadriplegia.

In cervical spine fracture cases, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in recovering compensation for you.
