Alaska Auto Accident Lawyers
Common Traffic Accident Injuries

When a traffic accident occurs, every part of a person's body is placed in a situation of immediate danger of injury.  While accidents have led to serious injuries from every point on the body from head to toe, there are some injuries that are more common than others.  The law firm of Barber & Banker is comprised of Alaska auto accident lawyers who have spent decades collectively fighting for the rights of those wrongfully injured in traffic accidents of all types, and below are just a few examples of common injuries we've seen in our clients.

Common Auto/Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

• Protruding discs - Protruding discs occur when the soft tissue that normally surrounds the discs in the back push through a weakness in the connective tissue.
• Bulging discs - A bulging disc occurs when a disc pushes through a crevice in the spine.
• Herniated discs - Herniated discs are common injuries, and many think of them as pinched nerves.  They are usually the result of a combination of wear and tear and a traumatic injury.
• Joint inflammation - Joint inflammation is a condition that does not sound serious, but it can be excruciatingly painful and debilitating for a person who cannot use his or her limbs normally.
• Facet syndrome - Facet syndrome is sometimes thought of as whiplash, which is a common injury as a result of auto accidents.
• Soft tissue injuries - Soft tissue injuries are generally those that remain somewhat of a mystery to the medical science world, which means that the patient must suffer through sometimes long periods of pain and suffering.

Clearly, there are many other injuries that result from traffic accidents, and if you or someone you love has been injured in any way as a result of such a collision, you need to contact the Alaska auto accident lawyers at Barber & Banker immediately to schedule a free initial consultation.
