Serious Back Injuries Need Serious Personal Injury Attorneys

If you are suffering with a back injury, you are not alone. Approximately 70-85% of Americans suffer some form of back pain in their lifetime. Many of these cases are related to external factors that are outside of your control, through accidents in the car, slip and fall trauma, or workplace accidents. No matter the cause, the physical suffering of back pain and injury can be severe. The spinal systems have extensive connectivity to other parts of the body, and one small spinal misalignment can have extremely significant impacts. Apart from pain, limited mobility, and challenges managing everyday tasks, there are other negative aftereffects to back injury. Many people experience anxiety or depression following a frightening injury and may have trouble sleeping or focusing when awake. Plus, back injury often results in missing work and life obligations for rest and recovery time, leading to financial, familial and other personal life stresses on top of medical concerns.

What Are the Costs of Back Injury?

Any time you sustain a substantial injury, you accrue medical bills. If you must take time off work, you lose income as well. However, due to the nature of back injuries, the financial repercussions may be far more extensive.

One reason for this is that a back injury may not make itself apparent right away. Any delay in seeking medical help may mean you need more extensive treatment than if you had seen your doctor immediately.

Also, spinal injuries often persist for years, requiring ongoing therapy, medication and time away from work. In some cases, you may be unable to work at all. If you are paralyzed, the financial repercussions are likely to be overwhelming.

You and your family should not have to bear the burden of someone else’s mistakes. A back injury lawyer can provide the legal support you need.
