Overview
Simple and major mishaps, falls, accidents involving automobiles etc. can cause severe or chronic back injuries. In some cases, the injury can take many months to years before expressing itself in the patient.
Common back and spinal cord injuries
Severe radiating back pain, long periods of total immobility, inability to work, serious debilitation, neck pain, etc., are some of the most common effects of a back injury. Spinal cord injuries may cause more severe and permanent injuries and symptoms that the patients may have to bear for the rest of their lives.
Who may be held responsible for back and spinal cord injuries?
Many causes of back injuries such as falls, auto accidents and other accidents may be compensated through effective legal counsel. For example, a person who sustains a fall in a private property can sue the property owner where he / she had the fall, provided it can be proved that the owner ignored the threat that could cause a fall, for a reasonable amount of time. Similarly, in sports and motor vehicle injuries, compensation may be claimed if it can be proved that the injury was caused due to the carelessness of a third party, or the owner of the facility.
