Construction Injuries: Neck Injuries

The neck is one of the most dangerous areas of the body to injure. Most construction injuries involving the neck will also involve injuries to other body parts as well, like back injuries, shoulder injuries or leg or arm injuries. Neck injuries cause pain and severe discomfort, often permanently. Physical therapy and medication may relieve some of the symptoms, but some severe neck construction injuries will require surgery or result in permanent disability.

Neck Injuries Affecting Construction Workers

When a construction worker is hit by a falling object, involved in construction machinery accident, slip and fall accidents, or involved in repetitious work, a neck injury may occur. Construction accidents as well as recurring physical stress from a construction worker's job can contribute to neck injuries. The most common neck injuries affecting New York construction workers include:

• Herniated discs
• Ruptured discs
• Broken neck
• Fractured neck
• Compressed nerves
• Radiculopathy
