Causes and Symptoms of Back Injuries
Back and spine injuries can be the result of accidents and work-related activity. Some of the causes we see most often are:
- Workplace accidents
- Car, motorcycle and truck accidents
- Failed back surgery
- Repetitive stress/motions
Injuries to the back, spinal cord and discs can be very serious and may include:
- Herniated discs
- Ruptured discs
- Compressed discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Tears to the spinal cord
- Paralysis
- Paraplegia or quadriplegia
When the back or spine is affected, pain and other symptoms often extend to other parts of the body, such as the arms, hands, legs and feet. People with back injuries may have difficulty sitting or standing because of pain, pressure sores and weakened muscles.
These types of injuries often require long-term pain management and medical care. You will need compensation for medical bills, lost income and other expenses. We can help. Please call our office at 614-360-2637 or 888-899-3586 to schedule an appointment with our Columbus back injury attorneys.
