There are many common injuries that motorists suffer from in car crashes
including broken bones, joint injuries, muscle and ligament strains, as
well as disc injuries. Because disc injuries are serious in nature, many
people do not realize how common these types of injuries actually are.
When involved in a crash with another vehicle, the impact from the car
wreck can cause disc injuries to occur, often referred to as:
- Ruptured discs
- Herniated discs
- Protruding discs
- Bulging discs
- Other spinal injuries
When a ruptured disc injury occurs in the cervical spine area (the neck
region), it can leave the victim with extensive pain that radiates from
the shoulders to the chest and arms. When a herniated or ruptured disc
injury occurs in the thoracic spine (the middle area of the spine) or
the lumbar (lower) spine, severe pain can be felt in the buttocks and legs.
Unfortunately, these injuries can cause victims a lifetime of pain and
suffering due to nerve pain, a decrease in range of motion, and the inability
to work or care for themselves as they once did. Sometimes, these
types of injuries can even result in paralysis.
If you have suffered paralysis, a disc injury or nerve injury due to the
negligence of another driver, The Kalka Law Group would like to help you
make a financial recovery for your medical bills, lost wages, and instances
of pain and suffering.
