It isn&#8217;t a dollar figure.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>whiplash or soft-tissue strain<\/strong> stretches muscles and ligaments. It hurts, sometimes for months. But the spinal cord\u2014the bundle of nerves inside your spine\u2014is not damaged. Most people recover fully. That is not what this page covers.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>catastrophic spinal injury<\/strong> means damage to the spinal cord or nerves. It causes permanent loss of function. Very often, it requires surgery you will never fully undo. The dividing line is not how much it hurts. It is whether the injury is <strong>permanent<\/strong> and whether the <strong>cord or nerve roots<\/strong> are involved.<\/p>\n<p>That difference matters in law. Permanent harm, future medical needs, and lost earning power drive a truck accident catastrophic back and neck injury claim\u2014not a one-size-fits-all &#8220;average settlement.&#8221; Any page quoting a single number is guessing.

First, where the injury sits on the spine. Second, whether it is &#8220;complete&#8221; or &#8220;incomplete.&#8221; According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/spinal-cord-injury\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20377890\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, a higher injury in the neck usually causes more <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a> than a lower one. Everything below the injury can be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors grade severity using the <a href=\"https:\/\/asia-spinalinjury.org\/international-standards-neurological-classification-sci-isncsci\/\">ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS)<\/a>\u2014grades A through E.
