Las Vegas Fractured Vertebrae Lawyers

The spinal cord is made up of numerous bony pieces called vertebrae, a flexible column which protects and reinforces the spinal cord. Just like other bones in the body, a vertebra may weaken and break, crack, or fracture. Osteoporosis and cancer can both weaken the bones of the body and cause a fracture, but most commonly, vertebra fractures occur as a result of trauma. Automobile accidents are the most common type of trauma which results in a fractured vertebra, and if a motor vehicle operator was driving negligently or recklessly, they may be held liable for any damages that result from a fractured vertebra.

Symptoms of Fractured Vertebra

Because the symptoms of fractured vertebrae are often confused with the symptoms of other, less severe back problems, the importance of obtaining an accurate diagnosis cannot be understated. Some of the symptoms associated with a fractured vertebra include:

• Sudden and severe pain which increases when walking or standing
• Difficulty in stretching, twisting, or bending
• Spinal deformities such as the "hunchback" shape
• Pain that goes away when you lie down
