C7 Broken Neck from an Accident:
Victim Compensation and Liability

Spinal Cord Injury Spinal injuries can be the result of accidents involving a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, atv, or other vehicle.

Compensation for a C7 broken neck (also C7 and C8 spinal cord injuries) is based on the severity of the injuries and how those injuries have affected the person's life. In most cases, there is a settlement agreement providing money for the accident victim and his or her family. However, many cases are settled right before or during the trial, so our lawyers always prepare for trial.

Our experience is that C7 and C8 spinal cord injuries can lead to the following:

Breathing difficulties because of paralyzed chest muscles
Lack of endurance
Weak cough—may need help clearing saliva
Loss of bowel and bladder control
Paralyzed chest muscles and legs, which prevents walking
Need for a power-assisted wheelchair

C7 and C8 spinal cord injury victims generally need 6 hours of assistance per day for personal care and 2 hours per day for home care.

If you or a loved one has suffered a C7 broken vertebrae and/or C8 spinal cord injury, compensation may include amounts for your medical expenses, cost of care, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, loss of quality of life and other damages.
