1- Spine Injuries in Accidents
Persons who are in car accidents or fall down often do not feel pain in their back until the next day. Testing for back injuries could include: muscle conduction tests, MRI, CT scan, and X-ray. A person concerned about a spine injury should probably consult an orthopedic doctor who can order and read most of the above tests.
Even in a low impact accident, there can be a back injury. According to medical journal excerpts:
1) "The truth is that all driving can be dangerous. More than 80 percent of all car crashes occur at speeds less than 40 mph. Fatalities involving non-belted occupants of cars have been recorded at as low as 12 mph. That's about the speed you'd be driving in a parking lot."
Seat belt safety pamphlet, number D)T HS 802 152, distributed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
2) "The amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine of the occupants. The acceleration of the occupant's head depends on the force imparted, the moment of inertia of the struck vehicle, and the amount of collapse of force dissemination by the crumpling of the vehicle. The inertia of the struck vehicle is related to the weight and the relative ease with which the vehicle rolls or moves forward."
Charles Caroll, M.D., Paul McAfee, M.D., Lee Riley, Jr., M.D.: Objective findings for diagnosis of "whiplash". Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine, March, 1986, pp. 57-74.
3) "The accident does not need to be severe in order to generate cervical trauma. Using the brakes when the light suddenly turns red and when the neck is too relaxed is enough to cause trauma.
The neck may projected backwards even though not violently. The head, which weighs five kilograms and is balanced over the cervical spine, being supported by only two small articular surfaces no greater than a thumbnail, is also thrown backwards pulling the cervical spine with it. In addition, a sudden reflex contraction of the flexors on the neck occurs with a certain delay. We shall not describe all the details of the mechanism of the production of these whiplash injuries..."

2. Recent cases
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE- PARCEL v. PARCEL
Appellate Division, A-6658-04T1, June 2, 2006, not approved for publication.
Final domestic violence restraining order against the defendant husband based on a finding of harassment affirmed; the parties were in the process of divorcing; the defendant called the plaintiff wife five times to ask her whether she would go to the shore; the plaintiff told the defendant to stop calling because she was going to a concert that evening instead; when the plaintiff returned home from the concert, she discovered that the defendant had called about 64 more times; based on the defendant’s history of “controlling, obsessive, and annoying behavior,” his first five calls by themselves might qualify as harassment, and the 64 more calls “unmistakably” established harassing conduct that constituted domestic violence.

CRIMINAL TRIALS - STATE v. ZYSK Improper behavior for refusal to submit bag to security check
Appellate Division, A-6084-04T2, May 31, 2006, not approved for publication.
Conviction following a trial de novo of the petty disorderly persons offense of improper behavior in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2a(1) affirmed; the defendant refused to submit his binocular case to a security check at the Meadowlands Racetrack, became belligerent while in the presence of other patrons, and fled into the Racetrack before he was apprehended; the record supported the conviction because the defendant had recklessly risked public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm and had created a physically dangerous condition for himself, security personnel, and the general public nearby; the defendant argued on appeal that his conviction had to be vacated on procedural grounds because the complaint, which had been signed by a person who was not a law enforcement officer, should not have been issued until a Municipal Court judge or administrator made a finding of probable cause; however, the complaint was not legally deficient to warrant its dismissal and the reversal of the conviction.
