Suing for Back Injuries from an Accident in PA


Back Injuries can limit the ability to perform key daily activities. When someone else is responsible, it’s possible that you can seek compensation for your damages.

Sue for Back Injury in PAHave you experienced a neck or back injury in Pennsylvania? If it’s a serious one, you know the pain can be severe and debilitating. If your back was injured through no fault of your own, our compassionate and broadly experienced personal injury lawyers can help. Our lawyers can examine how the accident happened, who is at fault, and it may be multiple parties, which would increase the compensation we could win for you—and we can pursue the compensation you so rightly deserve for the pain, discomfort, and loss of earnings that you have had to endure. Much more may be compensable if you have a valid cause of action to sue for injuries that should not have happened but for the negligence of someone else.

Common Causes of Back Injuries

In our experience, there are several ways a back injury can occur:

No matter how it happened, the tremendous pain and disability it caused can lead to medical bills that are impossible to pay. Turn to our team of Pennsylvania back-injury lawyers to help you. We will listen to you carefully, prepare your case diligently, file your lawsuit, and work for justice to repay you for the suffering your injury has caused.

What Are Some Common Back Injuries?

Sometimes a back injury is visible, like a cut or bruise. These can be serious and must be treated. But most injuries to the back are not visible—they’re internal. Usually, these are the ones that are more serious, take longer to heal, and are the most difficult to treat. Some common injuries to the back include:

  • A sprain is when ligaments are over-stretched and/or torn.
  • A strain, when tendons or muscles are over-stretched and/or torn
  • A rupture of one or more of the discs that lie between your vertebrae.

Sprains and strains are likely to heal within a few weeks if you’re careful to get the required rest. You would probably be able to manage the pain with prescriptions and ice or heat. Do whatever your doctor prescribes. Follow his instructions exactly. Otherwise, there might be two outcomes you don’t want: either you will aggravate your condition, or, if you file a lawsuit, the other party could claim that you aggravated your injury yourself. You would get less in your settlement as a result.

A more difficult injury to treat would be a fracture of vertebrae. You might need surgery, which would take longer to recover from.

No matter what type of injury you have, our lawyers understand all the various diagnoses of injuries to the back and can leverage that knowledge to build a stronger case for you. Our legal team will fight for the best possible outcome for you when it comes to providing for your future and recovering what you are owed for your past losses due to back trauma.
