Back Injury Accidents

Back injuries can be extremely difficult to treat and litigate. While back injuries can cause severe discomfort and impair one’s ability to do daily duties, they are not always detectable by typical medical examinations.

As a result, insurance firms frequently engage in a battle before agreeing to a settlement. As a result, if you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is critical that you hire a New York back injury lawyer.

While damage to the spine can be seen on X-rays and imaging studies, soft tissue injuries are not. This is a hurdle for a New York  back injury lawyer since he will not only have to assess the severity of the ailments, but he will also have to prove that they exist.

Types of Back Injury Accidents

Back injuries, severe and minor, can be caused in various types of accidents including:

• Automobile Accidents
  • insured accidents, uninsured accidents, DUI accidents
• Truck Accidents
  • semi-trailer accidents, 18-wheeler accidents
• Slip and Fall Accidents
  • slip and falls in stores, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, offices, parking lots, etc.
• Trip and Fall Accidents
  • trip and falls in stores, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, offices, parking lots, etc.

Types of Back Injuries

The following are some of the more prevalent back injuries:

• Vertebral fracture is a condition in which one or more vertebrae are broken.
• Disc herniation
• Discs that are bulging
• Damage to the spinal cord
• Damage to soft tissues

A New York back injury lawyer will evaluate the severity of the damage and the treating doctor’s prognosis for the victim’s recovery. An attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. If the injury is to the soft tissues, the insurance company may challenge the claim’s validity, but it may also argue that the plaintiff shares culpability. If the insurance is uncooperative, a lawsuit may be necessary to obtain compensation.
