 At Brown &
Crouppen, we know that back injuries can occur in what seems to
be relatively minor accidents. Negligence has many forms, and
the attorneys of Brown & Crouppen are well qualified to
represent those seriously injured by the negligence of others in
whatever form the negligence arose.
Back injuries are one of the most common complaints made to
doctors, and one of the most common reasons for missed work. In
an accident, the spine is forced forward and backward, or side
to side, tearing and stretching muscles, causing great pain. The
soft disks between the vertebrae can also tear, causing a more
serious injury. Other back injuries are caused by repeated small
injuries, improper posture or improper lifting or bending. In
order to claim compensation for a back injury, it must have been
caused by the recklessness or negligence of a third party. For
example, a back injury caused by:
- A bike or
car accident
-
Inappropriate medical treatment
- An avoidable
slip, trip or fall
- Lack of
proper safety equipment of training in the workplace
Depending on
the severity and length of recovery, back injuries can result in
enormous medical bills, from emergency treatment, medical exams,
surgeries, therapy, rehabilitation devices and prescription pain
relievers. In addition, there’s also loss of income and other
adverse effects on the quality of life.
If your back injury occurred during a car accident, a violent
attack or an accident in a public space or at work, speak with
one of our attorneys here at Brown & Crouppen. You may be
entitled to recover the cost of your medical treatment, lost
wages and other damages related to your injury. Most personal
injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations that
varies by state and by the type of injury claim. For this
reason, we urge victims to contact a personal injury lawyer as
soon as possible.
At Brown & Crouppen, we would be happy to answer any questions
