Types of Back & Spinal Cord Injuries
Back and spinal cord injuries range in severity from mild strains to permanent disabilities. While some injuries heal with proper treatment, others result in lifelong complications. Common types of spinal injuries include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Fractured vertebrae
- Spinal cord compression
- Nerve damage
- Partial or complete paralysis (paraplegia, quadriplegia)
These injuries can cause intense pain, loss of sensation, muscle weakness, or the inability to perform daily activities, making proper legal representation crucial for securing compensation.


Common Causes of Back & Spinal Cord Injuries
Serious spinal injuries often result from negligence, unsafe conditions, or traumatic accidents, including:
- Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
- Workplace and Construction Accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Sports & recreational injuries
- Medical malpractice or surgical errors
- Acts of violence or assault
If your back or spinal cord injury was caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent actions, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation.
