Neck Injuries in Fayette County Accidents | Lexington Personal Injury Lawyer

Among the most common yet most frightening types of injuries suffered by central Kentucky and Lexington car or truck accident victims are neck injuries.  While neck injuries can range from whiplash injuries to broken bones or even paralysis, certain neck injuries occur more frequently than others.  Included here is a list (and short description) of the more common types of neck injuries from Fayette County and central Kentucky crashes:

• whiplash: caused by the back-and-forth motion of the neck that often results from rear-end collisions
• herniated disc: an injury to the spine that may cause severe pain and, in more serious cases, may require surgery
• neck fracture: perhaps the most serious of all neck injuries, fractures can lead to catastrophic injuries, paralysis or quadriplegia, or fatal injuries
• cervical strain or sprain: resulting from the stretching of ligaments or muscles in the spine around the neck, these injuries can lead to swelling, pain, muscle spasms, and bruising or stiffness in the neck, among other side effects  
• pinched nerves: also associated with muscle spasms, pinched nerves tend to arise after other neck injuries occur; other side effects or symptoms include throbbing, numbness, or weakness in the muscles.
