Back Injury In Philadelphia

Back Injuries are among the most common kinds of Traumatic Injuries occurring in the general population. Whether it is a Car Accident, Slip and Fall or trip and fall, or even Product Based Injury, back treatment is part of the medical regimen for most of these cases. At the same time, back injuries are some of the most hotly contested claims in the insurance industry for the following reasons:

  • Many claims are complicated by pre-existing back treatment
  • Depending on the age of the victim, insurance companies often try to claim that the victim had prior back issues (for example, an 85-year-old man)
  • Unless proven wrong, insurance representatives will argue that back pain is part of daily life

Back injuries are not an uncommon occurrence. Our bodies are incredibly fragile, and when they are under stress or endure physical trauma from an accident, permanent and severe injuries are bound to happen. Depending on the gravity of the injury, the days and weeks that follow can be incredibly overwhelming, not to mention incredibly painful.

The worst part about obtaining an injury like this is its potential to affect your everyday life. A neck or back injury may prevent you from completing work tasks, putting you out of work for a considerable time. Not only can it stress your professional relationships, but it can also be quite taxing for your relationships.

We are often asked:  “If I had a prior claim or medical treatment for back pain, can I still bring a claim if I was injured in an accident?”  The answer is “yes.”  If your initial condition has been aggravated due to someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to monetary compensation for this aggravation.

Under the law in most states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, you can recover monetary damages for pain and suffering, loss of life’s pleasures and enjoyment of life, mental anguish, wages, and even future wages and pain and suffering, depending on how badly your condition was aggravated. In most states, the law recognizes that an aggravation of pre-existing conditions may be just as bad if not worse than the initial trauma.  This is because a person with a pre-existing back condition is more susceptible to further injury, even from the mildest traumas.
