A back injury can occur in any kind of car accident, however, the severity and type of back injury can differ depending on the kind of collision as well as how intense the crash was. Rear end accidents pose different risks than front end collisions, and t-bone accidents have their own unique risks as well.

The most common back injuries that happen in car collisions are spinal fractures, herniated discs, and spondylolisthesis. Spinal fractures are bone breaks that happen to the spinal column. The most common kind is a compression fracture, or a small crack along the vertebrae. Herniated discs can compress nerves and cause numbness in the extremities. This happens when the discs between the vertebrae a shifted or compressed in an accident. Spondylolisthesis occurs when stress fractures cause vertebrae to shift out of place. This can be serious and cause nerve/spinal cord damage and loss of mobility. All of these injuries should be treated seriously and taken care of immediately. Healing from them will take time, but Eric Blank Injury Attorneys will be there with you every step of the way.
