Neck & Back Injury  

Massachusetts Catastrophic Injury Attorneys

Neck Injury ∙ Back Injury ∙ Disc Injury ∙ Spine Injury

At the Law Offices of Kelley & Trehub, we understand that neck and back injuries caused by a car accident can be severe - even when the damage to your car is not. Our catastrophic injury attorneys help injured clients who have sustained a severe back or neck injury as a result of an auto accident, a slip and fall or even as a result of a dog attack. Contact our Wellesley law firm to speak with an experienced and caring personal injury attorney.

Our firm takes special care to help our clients get the medical care they need and deserve. We strongly recommend that you seek proper medical attention following an accident as many symptoms may seem minor at the onset, but escalate as time passes. We have recovered favorable verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients suffering from serious neck and back injuries. Some complex neck and back injuries include:

• Cervical disc herniation: Many people suffer a herniated disc - even when the impact to the vehicle is minor. Therefore, if you have been in a rear end collision or other accident, it is important to consult a physician promptly.
  
• Strain or sprain: Many people view strained necks, strained backs or sprains as minor injuries. However, people who have overcome these injuries realize the truth. While there may not be a fracture involved, the recovery from a strain or sprain can be lengthy, keeping you out of work for weeks or even months.
  
• L5 - S1 and SI joint injuries: Injury to your L5-S1 or SI (sacra-iliac) joint can cause serious damage. However, many people do not recognize they have suffered a lower back injury because pain is radiating down their leg - rather, they often believe they have a minor leg injury.
  
• Spinal cord injury: A spinal cord injury is a catastrophic injury which can leave an individual paralyzed requiring serious life adjustments. In addition to months or years of therapy and rehabilitation, individuals suffering from paralysis may be incapable of working the same job and will face daily challenges.

Common Treatment for Neck, Back and Disc Injuries

While treatment will vary, many clients who have sustained a neck or back injury have undergone common forms of treatment. While often non-invasive, the expense of these treatments can accumulate. We work to recover full compensation for our clients. Some common treatments include:

• Physical therapy to increase range of motion and reduce pain
  
• Chiropractic and acupuncture treatments are also often used
  
• Trigger point injections to alleviate pain
  
• Steroids to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain
  
• Disc surgery may be used as a last resort when all other treatment options have been exhausted
