Rear-end accidents are among the most common and dangerous collisions in Eastern Connecticut. These accidents often happen suddenly, leaving the victims with no time to prepare for impact. As a result, they can lead to severe back and neck injuries, some of which may cause lifelong complications. Understanding these injuries and how they can affect you is essential in seeking proper treatment and compensation. If you’ve experienced a rear-end collision, reach out to PazzInjury Law to discuss your case with an experienced attorney in Connecticut. Call us today at (860) 691-1184.
Understanding Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash occurs when the head is forcefully jerked back and forth, similar to the action of a whip cracking. This injury affects the soft tissues in the neck and back, and it is common in rear-end collisions. Despite misconceptions, whiplash is a real and potentially debilitating injury. Common symptoms include:
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Stiffness
- Headaches
- Limited neck movement
- Fatigue
While some people recover within a few weeks, others experience symptoms for months or even years. If you’ve suffered from whiplash after a rear-end collision, seek medical attention and legal advice from Pazz Injury Law to protect your rights.
Serious Soft Tissue Injuries
Rear-end accidents can also cause other soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, and strains to the back and neck. These injuries can be excruciating and may require extended medical treatment, including physical therapy and pain management. In severe cases, these injuries can result in long-term issues like chronic pain or even disability. If you’re dealing with ongoing pain from a rear-end collision in Eastern Connecticut, Pazz Injury Law is here to help you seek compensation for medical costs and other damages.
Spinal Cord Injuries from Rear-End Collisions
In the worst-case scenarios, a rear-end collision can cause a spinal cord injury (SCI), which can lead to paralysis or other serious complications. Even less severe injuries to the spinal cord can cause muscle weakness, loss of sensation, or restricted movement. Spinal cord injuries often require extensive treatment and long-term care. If you or a loved one suffered a spinal injury in a rear-end accident, it’s critical to consult an experienced attorney to explore your legal options.
