A herniated disc happens when the soft cushion between spinal vertebrae slips or ruptures, causing:
• Severe back or neck pain
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Weakness in the arms & legs

Warning signs of spinal cord and disc injuries after a serious car accident:
• Persistent neck or back pain.
• Numbness or tingling in arms, hands, legs, or feet.
• Muscle weakness or loss of coordination.
• Pain radiating down the legs or arms (sciatica).

Types of degenerative spinal disorders:
• Spondylolisthesis: Vertebra displacement causing lower back pain, leg numbness, and hunchback (kyphosis).
• Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): This is due to aging, involving loss of cushioning, fragmentation, and herniation.
• Kyphosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine, mainly in the thoracic area.
• Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of spinal canal of spinal stenosis.

Herniated discs and other spinal cord injuries:
• Disc Herniation: Gel-like discs push through, causing back, neck, or shoulder pain, muscle spasms, arm weakness.
• Spinal Fractures: Vertebra compression causing pain, deformity, limited mobility.
• Radiculopathy: Nerve compression causing pain, weakness, numbness.
• Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Pain radiating to lower back, thighs, and buttocks.

In Arkansas, “eggshell plaintiffs” can recover full damages, even if pre-existing conditions make car accident injuries worse.

Seek prompt medical care:
• Early evaluation by a physician or spine specialist is critical.
• Documenting your injuries helps guide treatment and protects your legal rights.
• MRI or CT scans may be needed to confirm disc or spinal cord damage.

Even with pre-existing conditions, you may be entitled to compensation if a car accident worsened your spinal injury. Legal claims can help cover:
• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Physical therapy
• Pain & suffering
