Back and neck injuries can be invisible to others but life-altering for you. We help clients get compensation for serious spinal damage, herniated discs, and chronic pain caused by negligence.
When Your Spine Is Injured, the Pain Doesn’t Just Go Away
Whiplash, herniated discs, nerve compression, and soft tissue damage are common results of car crashes and other trauma. But too often, insurance companies downplay these injuries. At Parrish Law Firm, we understand the real toll spinal injuries take—and we fight to make sure you’re taken seriously and fully compensated.
Types of Back and Neck Injuries We Handle
Back and neck trauma can impact every part of your daily life. We help clients recover from:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Whiplash and cervical strain
- Spinal fractures or vertebral compression
- Pinched nerves or nerve root impingement
- Chronic lower back pain
- Soft tissue damage and ligament strain
- Scoliosis or spinal misalignment following injury
Whether your injury is visible on an MRI or shows up only in your mobility and pain levels, we build strong medical evidence to support your case.
Common Causes of Back and Neck Injuries
These injuries often result from:
- Rear-end and side-impact car crashes
- Truck collisions, especially on highways like I-285 or I-85
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls in retail stores or parking lots
- Construction site accidents or equipment failure
- Sudden force or awkward movements during impact
Even low-speed collisions can cause serious spinal damage—especially when seat belts lock or airbag deployment snaps the neck backward.
Imagine This
You're driving through the tight interchange near I-20 and Moreland Ave when you're rear-ended at a red light. At first, you feel sore—but by the next morning, you can barely turn your head. A scan shows a cervical disc herniation pressing on a nerve. The right attorney can connect you with medical experts, document your treatment plan, and hold the at-fault driver’s insurance company accountable.
Proving the Impact of a Spinal Injury
Many spinal and soft tissue injuries don’t show up clearly on imaging tests, making these cases more difficult to prove. We work with:
- Orthopedic specialists
- Neurologists
- Pain management doctors
- Functional capacity evaluators
- Vocational experts
Together, we build a narrative that shows how the injury has limited your ability to work, move, and enjoy your life.
Let’s talk about your case before time runs out.
FAQs: Back and Neck Injury Lawsuits in Georgia
Is whiplash a real injury in court?
Yes. While insurance companies may downplay it, whiplash and soft tissue damage are very real—and compensable—injuries when properly documented.
What if my pain showed up days later?
That’s common. Many spinal and neck injuries develop or worsen over time. As long as you seek care promptly and document symptoms, your case remains valid.
Can I recover compensation if I had prior back problems?
Yes. Georgia law allows recovery if an accident aggravated a preexisting condition. We’ll work with your doctors to separate old vs. new damage.
