Elizabethtown Paralysis Injury and Disability Benefits
Neck injuries have many similarities to back injuries because they both often involve trauma to the spinal cord and discs. When the spine is affected, the symptoms are not limited to the neck area. Pain, numbness and loss of motion often spread to other parts of the body.
When the symptoms and complications of neck injuries make it impossible to work, Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) benefits may compensate for loss of income. However, obtaining benefits is a difficult process if you attempt it on your own. I have been handling SSD/SSI claims for 35 years. I can assist you and make the process easier. Please call 502-442-7306 to schedule an appointment. Your consultation is free.
Effects of Neck and Spinal Cord Injuries
Neck pain and spinal conditions are often caused by injuries resulting from an accident or a fall such as car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, workplace accidents and construction accidents. Failed neck surgery is another common cause of neck pain.
Injuries to the neck area and spinal cord can include herniated discs, ruptured discs, compressed discs, slipped discs and fused discs. Degenerative disc disease can also affect the neck area, causing serious pain. Other symptoms of neck and spinal injuries are:
- Permanent loss of range of motion
- Paralysis, paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Pain, tingling and numbness in the extremities
These symptoms may make standing or sitting painful or impossible. In addition, loss of dexterity in the hands and fingers prevents people from doing many types of work. By providing the necessary medical evidence documenting the effects of your symptoms, we present a strong case for SSD/SSI benefits.
