Spondylosis or Spondylolisthesis is a degenerative condition that affects the disks in your spine. The vertebral disks tend to collapse with age and wear and tear and become herniated. This causes pain and limited ability to move in many people. It’s important to know that spondylosis is not caused directly by a motor-vehicle accident or other type of injury since it is a condition that creates alterations in structure due to time and not because of a single traumatic event.

The symptoms of spondylosis may not be immediately felt or reported. They develop gradually over time or if it’s very severe, it could increase the type and intensity of symptoms suddenly. They include:

• Shoulder blade pain
• Arm and neck pain
• Increased pain while standing/sitting/sneezing/coughing/tilting the head
• Muscle weakness
• Prolonged or more intense episodes of “stiff neck”
• Back of the head headaches
• Tingling/numbness in arms, shoulders or legs
• Loss of balance
• Rare symptoms include loss of bowel control

Claiming Compensation 

Our Mississauga accident injury lawyers available 24×7 can evaluate your case thoroughly and consult medical specialists to establish that your spondylosis symptoms occurred only after the motor-vehicle accident. This could prove that the symptoms were aggravated or triggered off by the traumatic injury to your spine, neck or back.

Your treating medical doctors must opine that they believe to a reasonable degree that the spondylosis condition has a direct connection with the motor-vehicle accident. Hence the final admissibility of your claim lies in your own previous medical records and whether you already had a pre-existing spondylosis condition or not.

Often, the most common types of accidents that cause spondylosis symptoms to get aggravated are rear-ending accidents. Our 24×7 Mississauga personal injury lawyers can provide inputs from car-crash specialists and competent medical professionals to establish the connection between your spondylosis symptoms and the car accident.

It is also common for accident victims who have suffered whiplash injuries to develop symptoms of spondylosis as a result of the traumatic injury to the neck and spine as it gets thrown back and forth by the weight of the head in a motor-vehicle accident.

Delayed onset of symptoms is a very common feature of whiplash injury and statistically, it has been established that accident victims who suffer severe whiplash injuries are six times more prone to develop symptoms of spondylosis as compared to age-related or gender matched cases. Those with pre-existing whiplash tend to become worse after whiplash injuries. These factors can be presented by competent medical experts with the legal assistance of our Mississauga traumatic brain injury lawyers.
