The cause and severity of a personal injury to the neck can vary immensely, so different victims making neck injury compensation claims often receive widely different amounts of money in settlements.
However, typically a victim who has sustained minor whiplash, for instance, will not be remunerated with as much money as someone who has unfortunately become paralysed, if both are injured in non-fault accidents.
The damage done to the neck will depend on the seriousness of the accident, the individual's age, weight, underlying health conditions, and many other variables.
Although the spine and its network of muscles, ligaments and tendons, supports our body's frame and holds our head up, it is, in fact, relatively easily damaged and this could lead to a reduced quality of life.
Every individual who suffers a neck injury, whatever their age, bodily frame and medical history could escape with some bruising and whiplash in an accident, equally could be unlucky-enough to become wheelchair bound for the rest of their lives, or may even die.
The structure of the neck and spine is such that the exact movement and force behind an incident can make a big difference to the injuries sustained.
For example, casualties unfortunate enough to break their C4 or C6 vertebrae and damage the spinal cord in those areas are at a very high risk of becoming paralysed from the neck down, yet if it is only the bone which is broken and the cord is intact, the bones commonly heal without the victim becoming paraplegic.
Similarly with many other types of injury, the more violent the movement and power behind the accident and the deeper the damage the more likely it is that casualties will sustain severe personal injuries with long lasting impact on their health and wellbeing.
