Contact a back injury lawyer today

Large numbers of people endure back injuries due to occupational hazards, slip-and-fall accidents or other causes such as sports or adventurous activities. Sometimes such back injury accidents occur due to the fault of others.

The back is an extremely important part of your body.  A deep and heavy injury on your back can make you bedridden and disabled, either temporarily or even permanently. In the event of a back injury that merits financial compensation, seek the advice and assistance of a back injury lawyer at Jim S. Adler & Associates.

Back Injury Types

An intricate network of muscles, bones and tissues forms your back. When it’s injured, the back injury is named on the basis of the portion of the back which was hurt: upper back injury, middle back injury or hind/lower back injury. Some common back injuries which many Americans suffer are herniated disks, sprains and strains, fractured vertebrae and muscle spasms.

Back Injury Treatments

Back injury treatments are often lengthy and expensive. Such extra expenses can cause trouble for people trying to manage monthly budgets, especially if the injury means that a breadwinner is without work for a time. The reduction in income may not be enough to meet treatment expenses for the patient and living expenses for his or her family.

In such a situation, financial compensation can come from a source such as an insurance company or offending employer who’s legally responsible for the back injury. This can mean a great deal to a family, not just financially but emotionally. A back injury lawyer knows very well what it means to gain compensation at a time of crisis.

Back injury treatments depend on the depth of the injury and the effect on the patient. Sometimes bed rest and hot pad treatments along with some medications are enough to get well. In worse cases a long physiotherapy session is required to overcome the trauma of the accident. In the most severe cases, patients may require surgery and intensive care, which may involve greater than six months of recovery.

Back Injury Hospitals

More than 1,000 hospitals and trauma centers in the United States specialize in back injury treatments. Some of the most notable hospitals are Johns Hopkins Hospital; Mayo Clinic; Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center; Massachusetts General Hospital; New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell; San Francisco Medical Center; Brigham and Women's Hospital; Duke University Medical Center; Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania; Stanford Hospital and Clinics; University of Chicago Medical Center; and Yale-New Haven Hospital.

A Back Injury Lawyer Can Help You Obtain Legal Compensation

People often suffer accidents and serious back injuries due to the fault of others. Many suffer from a back injury due to the negligence of employers who fail to provide safe and healthy work conditions, such as comfortable chairs and proper sitting arrangements. A back injury also may be the result of a slip and fall in areas where slippery substances are allowed without care, as on building construction sites, road construction sites and other workplaces and public establishments. In such slip and fall incidents, the owner or operator of a company may be held responsible for the accident.  If you are a victim suffering a back injury or spinal cord injury due to the fault or wrongdoing by others, you have a right to financial compensation for your suffering.

Studies have estimated that as many as 55% of paralysis cases result from a vehicle accident involving a truck, motorcycle or car. Often a spinal injury causing paralysis is associated with rollovers and “roof crush” of vehicles. When a rollover accident causes roof crush, passenger space is severely compressed.
