Neck Surgery for Accident-Related Injuries
The cervical region of the spine begins at the base of the skull and runs down the neck. It includes seven vertebrae — numbered C1 through C7 — as well as cushioning discs, ligaments, tendons and nerves. The cervical spine protects the spinal cord, which lies inside it, and supports the skull.
At Biren | Katzman Trial Lawyers, we represent people with severe neck pain caused by the negligence or recklessness of others. Many are victims of automobile accidents, industrial accidents, construction accidents, falls or other accidents.
Conservative Treatment for Neck Pain
Neck pain is first treated with braces, hot and cold packs, anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy or cervical epidural injections. If the pain persists despite these treatments, the next consideration for many types of neck injury victims is surgery.
Cervical fusion is a type of neck surgery that fuses together two or more vertebrae, using bone grafts, metal rods and screws. It is designed to stabilize the spine and eliminate pain-generating movement. Biren | Katzman’s lawyers have a long history of obtaining substantial financial recoveries for plaintiffs who needed a neck fusion as a result of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence.
Our attorneys have successfully represented hundreds of people in neck surgery claims. Because of this experience, we understand the long-term consequences of cervical fusion neck surgeries.
One Neck Surgery Is Not Always Enough
For example, we know that a significant percentage of people who undergo one neck fusion surgery will need another one at some point in the future; the reason being that the additional stress on the levels adjacent to the surgical site can expedite breakdown of the spine and discs. Failure to account for this potentiality in negotiations or litigation with the insurance company would leave injury victims personally responsible for significant costs related to the original accident. We don't let that happen.
Our lawyers anticipate this and other potential future costs you may face because of the accident that injured you. We aggressively pursue the full amount of compensation you are entitled to receive.
