It is the pathway for air, which is essential to stay alive. It is also where your food and water comes in, which is also essential for life. You also move your neck constantly and it is involved in almost every movement you can possible make and any activity from sitting down to driving a car.
If your neck is damaged, not only can it easily kill you, but it can completely incapacitate you.

Common Causes of New Mexico Cervical/Neck Injuries in Motor Vehicle Accidents
There are many potential causes of cervical or neck injuries in New Mexico motor vehicle accidents. The most common is a rear-end car accident, which results in a violent back and forth motion of the neck and head. Similarly, head on collisions result in the same forces and motion. Side impact collisions are also very dangerous because the neck is not supported by a headrest.
Trucking accidents are also more likely to result in cervical and neck injuries. Even a small bumper tap from a large commercial truck such as a big rig or 18-wheeler can send shockwaves through a smaller passenger vehicle which causes catastrophic neck injuries.
