Neck Injuries From Norfolk, Virginia Beach, & Other Virginia Car Accidents

Virginia auto accidents can lead to a number of injuries, with neck injuries among the most serious. Below are some of the more common neck injuries from Virginia car wrecks & truck accidents:

• whiplash: occurring most frequently in rear-end collisions, causing the neck to move back and forth and extend in such a way that a number of possible neck injuries can result
• cervical sprain or strain: occurs when the muscles or ligaments in the cervical spine are stretched and can result in stiffness, swelling, bruising, muscle spasms, severe pain, and a popping or tearing feeling in the neck
• fracture: fractures of the cervical spine (neck) can be the most serious of neck injuries after a Virginia car accident, often leading to paralysis, other catastrophic injuries, or even fatality
• disc injuries: a herniated disc, for example, occurs most frequently in the back, but a herniation may occur in the neck as well, sometimes requiring extensive medical treatment or surgery

• cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve): pinched nerves are often the result of other neck injuries and can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and pain or throbbing.

The above list is not comprehensive, and many possible neck injuries can result from Norfolk truck wrecks, Eastern Shore motorcycle accidents, Virginia Beach car accidents, and other Virginia crashes.
