Understanding the Different Types of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can vary in terms of their impact on a person’s lifestyle. Following are some frequently reported types of neck injuries in England and Wales for compensation claims:
- Whiplash: It is a soft tissue neck injury. It is caused by a sudden head movement. For instance, a jolt to a driver’s neck during an accident. A sudden jerk due to an emergency brake in a public transport.
- Fractured Cervical: It happens in case one of the seven vertebrae in your neck gets broken. For example, breaking your neck by falling from an elevated position. Getting struck by a structural collapse at a construction site. A blow on your neck during a physical assault.
- Dislocated Cervical: Due to a sudden impactful force on your neck a dislocated cervical can be caused. It is also called misplacement of your cervical vertebrae. Examples include, dislocating your neck by slipping on an unmarked spill at a public place. Tripping over an object in a walkway. Falling from a broken chair at a restaurant.
- Strained Neck: It happens when the neck muscles or ligaments get torn or overstretched. For example, a chiropractor improperly moving your neck. A cyclist or a motorcyclist getting their neck muscles torn during a fall from an accident.
- Neck Muscle Spasm: It is a condition in which your neck muscles get tight or contracted. This can happen as a result of a prolonged poor posture at the workplace. Gym machine malfunctions or getting exposed to toxic fumes for an extended time.
