A broken neck can also be known as a neck fracture. A fracture is when the bone in the neck, called the vertebrae is cracked or broken. In most cases, a neck fracture is a catastrophic injury that often results in paralysis. Neck fractures can be caused by a number of things including car accidents and falls at work and in public.

The brachial plexus is the set of nerves that come off the spinal chord to the shoulders, arms and hands.

Paralysis (£112,700 ~ £307,000)
You could be awarded between £112,700 and £307,000 as compensation for suffering paralysis from a neck injury accident.
Your body moves because your brain controls your limbs by sending messages through your spinal cord. Damage to the spinal cord in your neck can stop these messages, causing paralysis. Paraplegia is the complete or incomplete paralysis of the lower half of your body. Tetraplegia is paralysis affecting all four limbs and torsos. This impairment is most common with victims of high impact accidents such as car crashes or rollercoaster accidents, or with veterans in the military.
