What is a Back Injury?

Damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles or other tissues are common back injuries. The lower back is the most prominent location for back injuries and back pain. Common back injuries include sprains, strains, herniated discs, and fractured vertebrae. 

The common symptoms include:

  • dull, aching sensation in the lower back, 
  • stabbing or shooting pain radiating down the leg, 
  • inability to stand up straight without pain, 
  • decreased range of motion and diminished ability to flex the back

Lower back pain is related to damage in the back muscles or ligaments. Back injuries can occur simply from lifting a heavy object, exercising too hard, or poor posture when sitting. There may also be minor injuries caused by a slip and fall or sudden spine twisting. Severe back injuries can occur from car collisions, falls from a substantial height, a blunt strike to the back, or a penetrating injury such as a stab wound.

Common Causes of Back or Spinal Injuries

There are several reasons why we could injure our backs, but it is not uncommon for them to come from external trauma. Here are some common causes of back or spinal cord injuries:

Common Back Injuries

Back injuries can range from mild to severe. Knowing what kind of injury you have is one of the first steps to getting proper treatment. Here are the most common types of back injury:

Sprain or strain

Sprains or strains can cause stiffness or aches that affect the upper arm, shoulder, back, or neck. A pinched nerve could also lead to shooting pains in the hand or fingers. 

Torn or ruptured disc

A disc herniation happens when a disc moves from its stable place. When it compresses the spinal cord or nerves, it can result in severe pain in the lower back and numbness in the legs. This injury can also cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, or pain in the shoulders or arms. 

Spinal cord injuries (SCI)

Spinal cord damage could lead to a loss of sensation in certain parts of the body. There may also be a loss of function to the bladder, bowels, or sexual functions. A spinal cord injury could also lead to spasms or intense reflexes. This type of injury is also one of the most common types of injuries for victims of motor vehicle crashes.

Whiplash

This type of neck injury is the most common injury sustained during a rear-ended car accident. This injury occurs when the torso is jerked forward, and the lower extremities remain restrained. Whiplash involves damage to soft tissues like muscles and ligaments. And is located mainly in the neck and back, creating severe pain. 

Lumbar sprain

The pain from a lumbar sprain can often go away on its own. But the incorrect treatment of this injury can lead to nerve damage which can cause intense pain, preventing the victim from using their full range of motion.

Spinal stenosis

According to the Spine Institute, leaving spinal stenosis untreated can lead to severe nerve damage to the lower half of the body, with numbness and pinching pain appearing on the knees, thighs, and buttocks. Symptoms could also spread to the shoulders and arms.

Spondylolisthesis/spinal fractures

This happens when one of the bones in the spine (vertebra) slips out of position. This can cause lower back pain. Most often, these kinds of spine injuries can be solved through non-surgical treatment. Although, if the case is severe, surgery is needed. 

Paralysis

It is defined as an inability to perform voluntary motions and movements due to loss of muscle control. Paralysis is usually the result of an accident in which the head, brain, and spinal cord were severely injured. Depending on the type of bodily paralysis suffered, it can lead to the loss of motor function on one or more muscle groups severely lowering the quality of life of the affected.

These severe injuries can result in a drastic change of lifestyle that greatly affects the victims and their families. In the worst-case scenario, these injuries could result in wrongful death. If a victim has passed due to the injuries sustained from the negligence of an at-fault party, the family members of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim.

When Can Your Back Injury Lawyers Pursue Compensation?

Your expert accident lawyer can seek fair compensation when your injuries are caused by the negligent actions of others. Some types of negligence could be:

  • Failure to make premises safe for tenants
  • Distracted driving or driver error from another motorist
  • Substandard medical care or medical malpractice
  • Usage of a defective or hazardous product

If you or a loved one suffered injuries due to the careless actions of a negligent party, you are eligible to receive monetary compensation for your damages. It is important to remember that in these cases, an insurance agent will fight tooth and nail to lessen the degree of fault of their client to lower the value of the compensation claim.

That is why accident victims must seek legal representation from an experienced lawyer specializing in back injury claims. At Farahi Law Firm, we ensure that our clients obtain the treatment needed from the right medical professional. We guide our clients through the claims process, and we ensure that they receive the financial compensation they deserve.

  • Past, present, and future medical expenses
