Common Injuries After a Car Accident
It is not unusual that a person will experience a neck and back injury resulting from a car accident. During an accident between one or more vehicles, the body’s soft tissue can be jostled, moved, or strained. This can result in injuries to the neck and back, such as:
- Whiplash injuries
- Cervical bone fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lower back compression injuries
- Back sprains
- Neck sprains
- Ligament sprains
- Disc injuries
- Vertebral dislocations
- Herniated discs
- Neck fractures
Neck and Back Injury Settlements
The neck and back injury settlements sustained after a car accident can vary greatly and will depend on several factors, including:
- Contributing fault for the accident
- Age of the person injured
- General health of the person injured
- Extent of the injury
- Need for follow up care treatments
- Medical bills accrued to date
- Temporary or permanent nature of the injury
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional trauma
- PTSD
For this reason, no “average” number will tell you how much you are likely to recover in compensation for damages incurred after an auto accident. Conservative figures note that a soft tissue neck or back injury may provide compensation around $2,000 to $10,000 as a recovery amount, which in most cases is paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. But if a person sustains permanent or life-threatening injuries as the result of an auto accident, then compensation for this loss could be upwards of millions of dollars for having experienced the loss and diminished quality of life.
