Back Injuries Following a Car Accident

Back injuries after a car accident are common, since the force of the impact is typically concentrated at the back of a seated driver or passenger (as in rear end collisions). Unfortunately, insurance companies like to fight back injury claims by claiming that you already had an existing back condition, or that your injuries are attributable to another unrelated cause.

It is important for you to provide evidence that any prior back condition was fully healed (or no longer painful) when the accident occurred, and/or that the accident was directly responsible for re-injury. In order to prove this, you should have a qualified medical professional confirm the status of your back condition both before and after the car accident. Otherwise, you may not receive full compensation for your injury.

Our experienced Sarasota injury attorneys can help you document and prove your injuries, fighting to ensure you obtain the compensation you need to make a proper recovery. If you injured your spinal cord, you may need rehabilitative treatment, such as chiropractic care or physical therapy. A fair settlement should include the anticipated costs for this type of care, along with any income you will lose while recovering from your injuries.
