Common Types of Back Injuries

Back injuries can range from mild to severe, and each type requires different legal and medical approaches. Some of the most common types of back injuries include:

• Sprains and Strains: Damage to the muscles, tendons, or ligaments in the back, often caused by overextension or sudden movements.
• Herniated Discs: Occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing, potentially pressing on nerves.
• Fractured Vertebrae: Broken bones in the spine, usually due to a high-impact accident such as a car crash or fall.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord itself, which can lead to partial or complete paralysis below the point of injury.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: When discs between the vertebrae break down over time, often exacerbated by trauma or repetitive stress.

Common Causes of Back Injuries

Back injuries can occur in a variety of situations, often due to the negligence or recklessness of another party. Common causes include:

• Car Accidents: Sudden impacts can cause whiplash, spinal injuries, and other serious back issues.
• Workplace Accidents: Particularly in physically demanding jobs, improper safety protocols or equipment failure can lead to severe back injuries.
• Slip and Falls: Slippery surfaces, uneven flooring, and poorly maintained premises are common culprits in back injury claims.
• Sports Injuries: High-impact sports or inadequate training can result in significant back damage.
• Medical Malpractice: Mistakes during surgery or treatment can lead to unintended back injuries.

Short- & Long-Term Effects of Back Injuries

The impact of a back injury often extends far beyond immediate pain and discomfort. Victims may face:

• Chronic Pain: Ongoing discomfort that can affect sleep, mood, and overall quality of life.
• Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving or performing everyday activities, which can hinder independence.
• Loss of Income: Time away from work due to injury or the inability to perform previous job functions.
• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges stemming from the injury and its effects.
• Long-Term Disability: In severe cases, individuals may never fully recover, requiring long-term care and support.

Our Glendale back injury attorneys are committed to securing compensation that addresses all these aspects, ensuring you receive a fair settlement that covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any future care needs.
