Common Incidents That Often Result In Back Injuries
Like most injury incidents, the harm caused to your back can range from a minor pull or strain to significant damage to the bones, muscles, and discs in the spinal column. Unfortunately, what might appear to be only minor harm to your back can become excruciatingly painful and continue to cause added harm to the area if you do not seek immediate medical care and a complete evaluation of the injuries. Fast medical treatment is critical to ensuring the most promising outcome for any back injury.

The most common cause of back injuries for the average person is being involved in a car accident. In particular, rear-end collisions and impacts to the side of the vehicle are the most harmful as they cause severe jerking motions to the back and neck. The sudden and violent motion often causes multiple kinds of damage to the various tissues of the back. The second most common cause of a back injury is a slip and fall or trip and fall. Again, sudden jerking motions cause some of the harm, while the impact on the ground can result in other damage, including broken bones and added harm to the actual spinal cord.

The final hazard that often results in a back injury is the impact of a falling object. These incidents can result in compression injuries to the spine when the object falls from directly overhead. In addition, objects falling at an angle can impact the back and neck, causing dislocations and harming other soft tissues. If you have been involved in any incident that resulted in injuries to your back, please seek immediate medical care and treatment for any back injuries. Then, contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss the incident and your ability to seek compensation for the injuries via a back injury lawsuit. Our team is here to provide expert guidance and insight that can provide resolutions to many concerns, such as the cost of medical care and how to cover your living expenses if you are too injured to return to work immediately.

Who Should Be Held Accountable For Your Back Injuries?
The kind of injury incident and location will dictate who is responsible for your sustained harm. In slip and fall or trip and fall cases, the property owner or their staff are often responsible for unsafe conditions or safety hazards that caused your injury incident. Ultimately, the property owner is responsible for the safety of any public or private space and the well-being of guests who visit the area. If they failed to address a known safety concern and that issue caused your back injuries, they will likely be held responsible for your losses and expenses caused by the back injuries.

In back injury cases that involve vehicles, there is typically one or more drivers who are found to be at fault for the incident. The driver who is deemed responsible for the incident will also likely be the one who is forced to cover your expenses and losses. If you were a pedestrian or biker struck by a vehicle, in almost every case, the driver is held accountable when they fail to control their vehicle and strike someone. But it is best to book your free consultation with a Normandie Law Firm back injury lawyer to discuss your case and ensure you understand who could be held accountable and the process of seeking compensation via a back injury lawsuit.

What Is The Possible Value Of My Back Injury Case?
Victims who suffer personal injuries, such as back injuries, must understand that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded for specific injuries or incidents. Instead, the value of the lawsuit is determined by compiling all of the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to the injuries they sustained. Working closely with your Normandie Law Firm back injury lawyers, you will gather all the documentation to support your allowable expenses used in this process. The items that are typically include are:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses for the treatment and rehabilitation of the back injuries
• The replacement cost for any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident
• All legal expenses related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of your back injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the back injuries you suffered prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed

In cases that involve severe harm and a lengthy recovery process, the victim is also permitted to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. This is not a documented expense, as are medical bills or legal fees, so you will need to rely on your legal team at Normandie Law Firm for guidance in selecting a fair and reasonable amount. They typically refer to recently resolved cases with similar injuries to determine the pain and suffering compensation the court might be willing to award.

How Long Do I Have To File A Back Injury Case?
The time provided to personal injury victims to make a claim with the court is two years from the date of the injury incident. After that time expires, the victim loses the right to seek compensation for their losses and expenses. The only common exception to this time limit is when the liable party is a government entity or agency, such as the city, county, state, or federal government. In these instances, the time limit to file a lawsuit is decreased to only six months from the date of the injury incident. Please contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss the time remaining for you to pursue legal action.
