Back Injuries

Back and neck injuries are wide-ranging and rather common injuries in auto accidents, as well as other types of accidents which result in personal injury claims. If you or a loved one has suffered a back or neck injury in an auto accident due to another driver’s negligence.

We at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Many back injuries are immediately apparent after an accident, while some are not identified until diagnostic testing, such as a CT or MRI. Settlements for cases involving back injuries can vary greatly, as the victim’s resulting medical expenses and lost wages can vary from inconsequential to long-term or even permanent. Some victims require lifelong medical treatment and others can no longer perform the same job they had before the accident, and these and similar factors are taken into account when negotiating a settlement-agreement.

Herniated discs commonly result from auto accidents and occur when a disc, which lies in-between vertebrae, either bursts or is pushed out of alignment. It may be pushed into the spinal cord, which can cause pain and/or numbness in the arms or legs or even spinal stenosis.
Treatments and surgeries for back/neck injuries can be very costly; here are some potentially-necessary treatments and surgeries for damaged or herniated discs:

• Discectomy – This involves removing a portion of the damaged disc between the vertebrae in order to relieve pressure on the affected nerves.
• Foramenotomy – This involves removing bone or other tissue to relieve pressure on compressed nerves.
• Laminectomy – This procedure relieves pressure on the spinal cord itself and is often used to treat spinal stenosis and other degenerative back conditions. Laminectomies may also be performed in combination with spine-fusions to provide stability in the back after bone-matter has been removed.
• Spine-fusion – These surgeries are meant to stabilize damaged discs, treat back pain, and provide stability to help prevent future back injuries. A fusion may be performed in any part of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar) and the recovery-process is often extensive and requires months of physical rehabilitation.
