The upper spinal cord is susceptible to severe damage in traumatic accidents, often with life-altering consequences.
Even if it does not have permanent and debilitating repercussions, an injury to the muscles or tendons in the neck can be expensive and painful to treat.

Insurance companies may attempt to shift the blame onto you to avoid paying the compensation you deserve, making it important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible after the accident.
Neck trauma can cause long-lasting and even life-changing harm. If someone else causes an accident because they were acting carelessly or irresponsibly, they should have to pay for all your ensuing losses. You should not have to carry that burden.
A Bangor neck injury attorney at Mann Law can work with you to win fair compensation on your behalf, as well as handle negotiations with insurance companies and communicate with your healthcare providers.
