Back Injuries

A back injury is never just “back pain.” The force of a car crash or fall can leave you with damage that changes how you move, work, and live. Even injuries that seem minor at first may develop into lifelong complications, with ongoing pain and treatment costs that affect your family and your future. Too often, though, victims like you find themselves facing hardship from insurance companies, uncooperative employers, and others who refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

At Saavedra Law Firm, we fight for back injury victims across Phoenix to help them obtain the financial recovery they deserve for the lasting challenges that follow a serious injury.

Common Types of Back Injuries After Accidents

During a crash or fall, the back withstands a significant amount of force, which can result in severe injury. Even an injury that seems minor at first can develop into a long-term problem without proper medical attention.

Common back injuries include:

• Muscle Strains and Sprains: While often dismissed as minor, these injuries can cause intense pain and sometimes lead to chronic issues if not treated correctly.
• Herniated or Bulging Discs: When a spinal disc is pushed out of place, it can compress nerves, causing severe pain, numbness, and limited mobility. In serious cases, surgery may be required.
• Fractured Vertebrae: A broken bone in the spine is a dangerous injury that demands a lengthy and careful recovery process.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: This is the most severe back injury, potentially causing permanent disability or paralysis and changing a person’s life forever.

Why Compensation Matters in Back Injury Cases

The impact of a back injury extends far beyond physical pain. The financial and emotional costs can be significant, which is why securing compensation is so important.

A fair settlement can help cover:

• Long-term medical treatment, including physical therapy, surgeries, and pain management.
• Missed work and lost wages, especially if you are unable to return to your previous job.
• Ongoing pain and suffering that affects your quality of life and relationships.

Compensation is not just about paying today’s bills; it is about securing your future quality of life and getting you back on track.

Challenges of Back Injury Claims

Obtaining fair compensation for a back injury is rarely straightforward. Insurance companies often create obstacles to paying what you rightfully deserve.

Common challenges include:

• Invisible Suffering: Back injuries are often invisible, making it difficult to objectively prove the severity of your pain to insurance adjusters who may try to downplay your claim.
• Proving Causation: Because back pain is so common, it can be hard to prove the injury was a direct result of the accident and not from a pre-existing condition.
• Delayed Symptoms: Back pain can take days to appear, which can lead to delayed medical care. Insurers may use this delay to question the severity of your injury.

These challenges make having a determined legal team essential.
