Neck and Back Injury Lawyer in Kentucky | Experienced Kentucky Back Injury Attorneys
Injuries to the neck and back can happen from accidents in the car, the workplace, while on someone else’s property, and so many more ways. Neck and back injuries can range from mild to severe and disabling, and if you think you may have a case where your injury is due to someone else’s fault or negligence, you need to take your case seriously. Any blunt trauma or flexion-extension injury to the spine can result in injuries to the disc or spine.
Common to severe neck and back injuries in cases we see include:
- Fractured vertebra (compression fractures)
- Whiplash (straining of the muscles and ligaments)
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Soft tissue/muscular complications
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) and paralysis
Spinal cord injuries are the most severe, and they may result in partial or complete paralysis. Complete spinal cord injuries either cause tetraplegia/quadriplegia (affecting arms and legs) or paraplegia (affecting legs only) -- for these severe cases, we have further information here.
For the less severe cases that don’t affect the spinal cord, there are still very serious bone and soft tissue issues that can lead to chronic pain and potentially affect your ability to continue to perform work. As a matter of fact, the American Chiropractic Association says that back pain is the leading worldwide cause of disability.
What Are My Options with a Neck or Back Injury?
When sustaining a neck or back injury due to the fault or negligence of another party and are entitled to damages, you need to build a solid case to receive the compensation you deserve.
First things first: make sure you’re getting the proper medical attention! You most certainly need to make sure you have received the necessary treatment to help you recover or mitigate longer-term pain, and documenting your expenses and treatment comes next.
If your injury is due to fault or negligence of another party, their fault must be established. Many common injury cases where fault or negligence lead to injury include:
- Trucking accidents
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Distracted driving
- Premises liability
- Slip and fall accidents
- Rear-ending at stoplights
- Construction or workplace accidents
- Workplace injuries
The extent of your claim will depend on the severity of your accident, but compensation may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Long-term medical care
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of companionship or consortium
Experience Matters in Selecting an Attorney
An experienced Kentucky neck and back injury lawyer will help to ensure you have properly received full medical treatment, help you understand the nature of your case and determine the full amount you may seek for compensation.
Make no mistake, most cases end up dealing with insurance companies, and their job is not to be generous with their offer. They will do whatever they can to mitigate their liabilities, and an inexperienced attorney may fall for their tricks.
Ultimately, your injury is a serious and potentially life-changing event, and you deserve the best representation you can find to ensure you receive the money you are entitled to and deserve!
