Car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents (truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, bus) are one of the primary causes of neck injuries, often causing soft-tissue injuries to the neck muscles or spinal fractures. A neck injury can also result from a slip and fall accident (or another premises liability injury), a construction accident, or other types of work-related accidents. Neck injuries can also result from malpractice, or potentially from a defective product. Soft-tissue injuries of the neck are very common in auto accidents since the neck is often “snapped” violently forward, then backward, at the time of impact.
