An injured back can impact your life in many ways. Less serious injuries could result in some pain for just a few weeks, whereas more serious injuries from a life-changing accident may result in permanent disability. 

The back is a complicated structure that is made up of many different bones, the spinal cord, nerves, muscles, discs and ligaments. An accident can damage any part of your back or even many connecting parts. Pre-existing back conditions can also be made worse by an accident. But with a back injury claim, you could receive the compensation you deserve if the injury was someone’s fault. 

What are the common causes of back injuries?

Back injuries are common in car accidents, particularly rear-end shunts. But they can happen as a result of a manual handling injury at work or through falling from a height. You may even sustain a back injury in a shop, supermarket or other public places if you slip, trip or fall.
