Back injuries can be a devasting injury, since the back is the column that connects the entire body. Any injury to the back or spinal cord can have major consequences for the injured person as almost all movement involves the back. Almost any physical activity, including walking, lifting, sitting, standing and even lying down can become painful and difficult, if not impossible, following a back or spinal cord injury.

Common Types of Back & Neck Injuries

Back and neck injuries are among the most common outcomes of accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, a personal injury attorney can help you understand your legal rights, evaluate the strength of your case, and guide you through the process of pursuing compensation through a personal injury claim. These are the common types of neck and back injuries resulting from accidents.

  • Sprained or strained neck: Injuries that occur to the muscle or ligament in the neck due to stretching or tearing can cause mild to severe pain. Minor neck strains often heal quickly, but severe strains can be a source of long-term and even chronic neck pain.
  • Herniated disc: Spinal disc damage often leads to herniated discs. A common type of this injury is a bulging disc, which occurs when a disc pushes through a crack in the outer layer, causing it to flatten or protrude into one side of the spinal canal.
  • Nerve damage: Nerve damage is a common occurrence after a catastrophic accident. This injury can impact the neck and back, causing severe and chronic pain from permanent nerve damage.
  • Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord injuries are damage to any part of the spine or vertebrae. Spine injuries may be categorized as thoracic spine injuries, meaning upper back, lumbar spine injuries, meaning mid and lower back, or spinal cord injuries which often result in paralysis or loss of muscle movement.
  • Paralysis: In severe cases, neck or back injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, resulting in a loss of mobility or motor function.

Most common back and neck injuries occur as a result of a car accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall accident, or workplace accident. At Falk & Klebanoff, our back and neck injury lawyers know how these injuries can significantly harm your ability to perform your job properly and without pain. Our experience in getting workers the compensation they deserve is extensive.

Even minor neck and back pain can quickly develop into more serious conditions if left untreated. That’s why it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately after an accident. Regardless of how the injury occurred, it may be severe enough to keep you from returning to work and could require workers’ compensation to cover medical costs and lost wages.

At Falk & Klebanoff, we bring decades of experience handling personal injury claims, including those involving neck and back injuries. Our skilled attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the legal process, working to secure the benefits and financial compensation you or your loved one deserves.
