You may feel some pain or stiffness in your back. You may feel some tingling in your limbs and have trouble walking. You should see a doctor as soon as possible to get a diagnosis

  6. 1. Whiplash A common injury that occurs as the head is thrown forward and back from the force of impact straining or tearing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck and upper back. 2. Herniated Disc Force or pressure can cause a disc to rupture and press on the sensitive nerve endings surrounding the spine which can cause radiating pain, numbness, and muscle weakness.

  7. 3. Aggravation of Degenerative Disc Disease Pre-existing degenerative disc disease can begin to progress more quickly as the result of trauma to the back. 4. Fractures The most common type of fracture is a compression fracture which is a crack in the bone due to pressure on the spine from the impact.

  9. Car accident victims in Philadelphia need to be aware that there is a time limit in place to file a lawsuit against negligent drivers. The Pennsylvania statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date the accident occurs. If a car accident victim fails to file a lawsuit within this two-year timeframe, they will lose the ability to recover any compensation for their claim. In general, insurance carriers in Philadelphia are going to require victims to report the accident as soon as possible. This is usually within a day or two. A failure to report a car accident to the insurance carrier in a timely manner will likely result in a delay or denial of an insurance claim. 9
