Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Westlake Village Back & Spine Injury Attorneys

Injuries to the back or spine are incredibly debilitating, making it difficult for people with these types of injuries to perform simple daily tasks, such as walking around, driving a car, running an errand, or keeping house.  Unfortunately, because many types of back and spine injuries are irreversible, people with these types of injuries usually require continual medical treatment and rehabilitation, and will most likely be dependent on adaptive equipment for the rest of their lives. 

The term “back and spine injury” refers to a number of different types of injuries to the back or spine. Like any other injury, back and spine injuries are typically sustained in an accident in which the victim experiences blunt trauma to the back or spine. Some of the most common types of back and spine injuries are:

• Herniated disc
• Spinal cord compression
• Quadriplegia
• Paraplegia
• Cervical nerve compression
• Fractured vertebrae
• Spinal fracture
• Burst fractures
• Broken back
• Central cord syndrome

All of these back and spine injuries can lead to a variety of painful and equally debilitating side effects, such as:

• Nerve damage
• Radiculopathy
• Muscle spasms
• Numbness throughout the body
• Loss of muscle control, including limb function
• Loss of sensations
• Loss of bladder and bowel control
• Scoliosis
• Spasticity
• Infections
• Respiratory problems
• Heart problems
• Urinary tract problems

In order to recover compensation for a back or spine injury, the victim and his/her attorney must prove that another person or company’s negligent actions caused the accident that lead to the injury. Upon successful resolution of the case, the victim will recover damages to cover his/her pain and suffering, medical bills, rehabilitation, the cost of any adaptive equipment, lost wages, and any other expenses associated with the accident, injury, treatment, or recovery.
