The straightening or reversal of the natural curve in the neck, medically termed cervical lordosis, can occur due to a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle collision. Such a change can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. When this condition arises as a result of another party’s negligence in a car accident, the injured party may pursue financial compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Securing funds through legal avenues after experiencing this condition is important because it provides resources for ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and potential long-term care. The historical context reveals that settlements and court awards have evolved to recognize the lasting impact that spinal injuries can have on an individual’s quality of life and ability to function normally. Adequate financial recovery aims to address both the immediate and future needs of the injured party.
