Common Back Injuries & Their Causes

Back injuries are particularly challenging because they affect the core structure of your body. Whether it’s a minor sprain or a severe spinal cord injury, the impact on your life can be significant. Simple activities like walking, sitting, or even sleeping can become painful or impossible. This not only affects your physical health but can also lead to emotional distress and financial hardship due to medical bills and lost wages.

Back injuries can vary widely in severity and type. Here are some common back injuries and their causes.

Back Injuries You May Suffer After an Accident

  • Strains: Overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons
  • Sprains: Damage to ligaments or joints
  • Spasms: Sudden, involuntary muscle contractions
  • Soft Tissue Contusion: Bruising of the muscles and tissues
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons
  • Chronic Conditions: Long-term pain or dysfunction caused by injury or overuse
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe damage to the spinal cord, potentially leading to paralysis

Common Causes of Back Injuries

  • Overuse on the Job: Repetitive stress injuries at work from continuous strain
  • Car Accidents & Other Motor Vehicle Crashes: Sudden impact causing trauma to the back
  • Serious Falls: High-impact slips and falls resulting in back injuries
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, improper administration of anesthesia, or other medical errors can cause or worsen back injuries. Misdiagnosis or delayed treatment can also lead to severe complications.
  • Sports Injuries: Participating in sports, especially contact sports like football or activities that involve heavy lifting or twisting, can result in acute back injuries or exacerbate existing conditions.

What Compensation Is Available for Back Injuries?

If you’ve suffered a back injury, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation to help cover the wide-ranging impacts of your injury. Understanding the different types of compensation available can ensure you receive the full amount you may deserve.

Back injuries often require extensive medical treatment, which can be costly. Compensation for medical expenses may include:

  • Emergency Room Visits: Costs for initial treatment and diagnostics immediately following the injury.
  • Hospital Stays: Charges for inpatient care if your injury requires hospitalization.
  • Surgeries: Expenses for any surgical procedures needed to treat the back injury.
  • Medications: Costs for prescription medications to manage pain and inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Fees for rehabilitative services to restore mobility and strength.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Costs for ongoing medical consultations and evaluations.
  • Assistive Devices: Expenses for items such as braces, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids.

A back injury can significantly impact your ability to work, leading to lost income. Compensation for lost wages may cover:

  • Time Off Work: Reimbursement for wages lost due to time taken off work to recover.
  • Reduced Earning Capacity: Compensation if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job or working at the same capacity, resulting in lower income.
  • Future Lost Wages: Estimation of future income lost due to long-term or permanent disability.

Beyond the financial impact, back injuries can cause significant physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering may include:

  • Physical Pain: Reimbursement for the physical pain endured due to the injury.
  • Emotional Distress: Compensation for anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues resulting from the injury.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the diminished quality of life or inability to participate in activities you once enjoyed.

If your back injury occurred at work, you might be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which can include:

  • Medical Coverage: Payment for medical treatment and rehabilitation related to the injury.
  • Temporary Disability Benefits: Payments to cover lost wages while you are temporarily unable to work.
  • Permanent Disability Benefits: Compensation for long-term or permanent impairment resulting from the injury.
  • Vocational Rehabilitation: Services to help you return to work, possibly in a different capacity if you cannot resume your previous job.

Back injuries often require extensive rehabilitation to regain full function. Compensation for rehabilitation costs may include:

  • Physical Therapy: Ongoing therapy sessions to improve mobility and strength.
  • Occupational Therapy: Therapy to help you perform daily tasks and return to work.
  • Chiropractic Care: Costs for chiropractic adjustments and treatments.
  • Specialized Treatments: Expenses for any other rehabilitative treatments prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Severe back injuries may necessitate long-term care, for which you can seek compensation. This may include:

  • In-Home Care: Costs for hiring home health aides or nurses to assist with daily activities.
  • Nursing Home Care: Expenses for long-term residential care if you cannot live independently.
  • Modifications to Home: Costs for modifying your home to accommodate your mobility needs, such as installing ramps, handrails, or other adaptive devices.
