Car accidents can be very traumatizing accidents that can take a heavy physical, mental, and financial toll on the victims. Even more stressful and frustrating, the accident may have completely been the other driver’s fault and you are now suffering the consequences. Back injuries are somewhat common after these accidents, and they can be very serious if they damage your spinal cord. The spinal cord has a few main sections in which doctors categorize your injuries which include the following:
- The cervical vertebrae, which is essentially the neck
- The thoracic vertebrae, which is the upper and middle back
- The lumbar vertebrae, which is the lower back
- The sacrum, which is a structure connecting your spine to your hips
- The coccyx, which is the triangular structure forming the tailbone
Even a minor car accident can affect victims in many ways, including back pains. The back-and-forth motion that a collision causes can affect the cervical portion of the spinal cord and cause whiplash, which is accompanied by some back pains. Whiplash is very common in minor car accidents and qualifies as a sprain or strain, too.
Also, you could experience a sprain or strain lower in the back due to the impact on your back or neck. This can cause back pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion at the injury site. Another possibility is a spinal compression fracture, which occurs due to a large amount of pressure on the injury site. This can cause back pains and a hunched posture.
The degree of severity for these injuries is likely to be lesser than more severe car accidents. However, each person and accident is different and can result in many different types and degrees of injuries. In any case, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident so that you can get treated for any potential injuries that you may have and prevent further damage to the area. Many symptoms of back injuries may be delayed, and you may miss catching a condition early. By filing a claim against the other driver that was at fault for the accident, you can recover the costs for your medical treatment and other damages that you incurred.
If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
