Fractured Vertebrae Injuries
Fractured vertebrae occur when one or more of the actual spinal bones break or crack. The vertebrae can fracture just like any other bone in the body. The extent of the back injury varies greatly, depending on the location and neurological effects.
Accidents aboard watercraft vessels are a common form of trauma leading to fractured vertebrae. If you have been injured in a serious accident, you face many challenges. If the accident results in significant hospital or recuperation time, you may be unable to work and could possibly become disabled permanently.
Serious fractures can create neurological effects, such as pinched nerves, paralysis or even death. Symptoms include:
- Localized or radiating pain that is sore to the touch
- Stiffness and tight feel
- Observed visual deformity including bumps on the spine
