BACK AND NECK INJURY

Insurance companies may initially deny claims that involve painful “soft tissue” injuries, because such injuries are not easily seen by diagnostic tools such as x-rays. Serious, chronic pain such as chronic pain syndrome and chronic pain reflex syndrome (CRPS and CPRS) or fibromyalgia, are often referred to as the “invisible diseases” because the injured person may look just fine. However, chronic pain associated with a head, back and neck injury can be seriously impairing.

Headaches, neck pain, pain in the shoulders and shooting arm and leg pain can make it difficult to live normally. The injured person's independence or ability to work may be lost. Whatever brought them joy prior to their back and neck injury – parenting, gardening, sports activities, even reading – could be lost.

Pain from back and neck injury induces stress, which is compounded when insurance companies deny coverage. Fighting for policy benefits from an auto or disability insurance carrier can be particularly taxing for those who suffer chronic pain. An initial, free consultation with a law firm experienced in back injury, head injury, and whiplash claims can help determine the value of your claim and compensation for your injury.

The knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at D'Amore Law Group will shoulder the burden of dealing with your insurance company, so that you can focus on your medical recovery.

Some neck and back injuries, such as spondylolisthesis (often caused by the fracture of the vertebra that allows the disc or vertebrae to slip) and cervical radiculopathy (nerve damage caused by spine compression) induce terrible pain. In somecases, spinal cord injury can cause paralysis. Back and neck injury can occur in car accidents, as a result of slip and fall injuries, or other whiplash-inducing injuries.

Back and neck injury pain may be manifested as sharp and burning, or result in numbness and tingling. Pain – in any form – can be as debilitating as any other serious injury. Should you have a back or neck injury claim, whiplash, or head injury claim as a result of a car, truck, motorcycle accident, a slip and fall accident, or injury due to the negligence of others, turn to an experienced law firm: D’Amore Law Group, with meeting locations in Portland, Lake Oswego and Bend, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington.
