What Causes Back & Neck Injuries?
Neck and back injuries can result from a variety of accidents. At The Law Offices of Marc L. Shapiro, P.A., our personal injury team has helped many of our clients recover for neck and back injuries resulting from accidents such as:
- Car, truck, motorcycle, and bike accidents. Neck and back injuries are incredibly common in all forms of traffic accidents. As many as one in ten people involved in a rear-end collision will experience whiplash syndrome, for example, as well as other neck and back problems.
- Slips, trips, and falls. Slipping on a wet surface or tripping over unseen hazards can lead to awkward, twisting falls, increasing the likelihood of a neck or back injury.
- Elevator, staircase, or scaffold collapses. Falls from high places or being struck by falling materials are likely to lead to neck and back problems.
- Construction accidents. Neck and back injuries can result from being hit by falling or rolling objects at construction worksites, as well as falling from ladders or other high places.
- Defective products. Consumer products that malfunction can injure people in a variety of ways, from automobiles failing at inopportune times to home appliances exploding. Many defects will cause victims to suffer from a sudden impact to the neck or back.
- Swimming pool accidents. Diving into a shallow pool or slipping on a wet surface adjacent to a pool is a very common way to suffer neck, back or spinal injury.
