While some injuries can be minor, like a bump and or bruise, others can be major, such as broken bones, damaged ligaments, injured vertebrae, or a head injury.
Common medical conditions after Uber or Lyft accidents include:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Herniated Disc
- Leg Pain
- Limited range of motion
- Nerve Damage from spinal injury

- Cervical Disc injuries
- Arm pain
