Back or Neck Injury

Bethlehem, PA Workplace Injury Lawyer

Workplace accidents in Pennsylvania can be very serious. And some of the most severe injuries workers can sustain on the job involve damage to the back or neck. When these accidents occur, injured workers often cannot do their job for weeks or months or sometimes ever again.

Knowing what to do after such a serious but sadly common work injury can be overwhelming. Even knowing what your rights are – and what benefits and financial compensation you and your family are eligible to receive – might not be clear.

Cut through the confusion. Talk to an experienced Bethlehem workplace accident attorney at  Vellner Law, PC. We know how the legal system works in Pennsylvania. That’s because attorney Anthony R. Vellner and his knowledgeable legal team have been working with injured employees throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond for years.

    Types Of Back And Neck Injuries

    There are many different types of back and neck injuries that people sustain on the job. Some of these injuries occur slowly over time – whether it’s due to regularly lifting heavy objects or performing the same repetitive task at work. Other back or neck injuries often occur due to a single, violent event. These injuries include:

    • Back Injuries
      • Spinal cord injury
      • Ruptured disc
      • Herniated disc in back
      • Fractured spine
      • Bruised or torn back muscles
      • Strained or sprained back muscles
    • Neck injuries
      • Neck sprain
      • Neck fracture
      • Herniated disc in neck

    Depending on the location and severity of the back or neck injury, the affected person could become paralyzed and lose the use of parts of their body below the injury temporarily or permanently. That’s why it’s critical to seek immediate medical attention for a back or neck injury – then talk to an attorney at our law firm.
