Serious Personal Injury Claims

Back injuries frequently result from car accidents in North Carolina, significantly affecting victims’ lives. At Brent Adams & Associates, we recognize how these injuries can disrupt daily activities, hinder work performance, and diminish overall quality of life. If you’ve suffered a back injury due to someone else’s negligence on the road, it’s crucial to understand the specific circumstances that can lead to a personal injury claim related to car accidents. Here, we outline how these incidents typically cause back injuries: car accidents frequently lead to back injuries, which can range from minor strains to severe spinal cord damage. The sudden impact during a collision can jolt the body, causing the spine to twist or compress.

Victims of car accidents often face a range of serious back injuries. Whiplash, caused by sudden neck movement, can lead to pain and stiffness that radiates down the back. The force of the collision may also result in herniated discs, pushing them out of alignment and causing significant pain along with nerve issues. In severe accidents, vertebral fractures can occur, leading to debilitating pain and limited mobility. Additionally, torn or stretched ligaments may result in back sprains, while strained muscles and tendons can cause back strain. In the most catastrophic cases, the spinal cord may be partially or completely severed, leading to incomplete or complete spinal cord injuries that can dramatically affect mobility and overall quality of life.

Common Causes of Back Injuries in Car Accidents

Understanding the causes of back injuries in car accidents can help victims identify their rights under North Carolina law. Key factors include:

Rear-End Collisions: These accidents are notorious for causing whiplash and other back injuries due to the sudden impact and jolt to the body.
High-Speed Collisions: Accidents involving higher speeds increase the likelihood of severe back injuries due to the significant force involved.
Improper Seatbelt Use: Failing to wear a seatbelt correctly can lead to greater movement within the vehicle during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

We fight for compensation when you’ve been hurt due to negligence

A person with a back or spinal cord injury may require extensive medical treatment. Depending on the situation, this could involve surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, medication, home health care, special medical equipment and multiple follow-up appointments with medical specialists. Recovery could take months or years. Some people are left with a permanent disability.

Medical expenses for treating a back injury can add up very quickly and become overwhelming. If a negligent driver caused your accident, you shouldn’t have to pay. But when trying to get the compensation you deserve, you will face many obstacles and challenges.

The other driver may have been speeding, driving aggressively, texting, falling asleep or was under the influence of alcohol or drug. But negligent drivers often deny doing anything wrong and don’t accept responsibility for what happened. That leaves you in a position of having to prove negligence.

Insurer Tactics

Then there is the driver’s insurance company. They want to pay you as little as possible. There are several tactics they use to try to pay you less.

Undermine Injuries: They’ll try to argue your back injuries isn’t that serious and will try to get you to undergo an independent medical exam.
Allege Pre-existing Conditions: They may argue you were having back problems before the accident and may try to seek access to your medical records.
Offer Inadequate Settlements: Another common tactic is to offer you a settlement. As your medical expenses add up and you worry about paying bill, it can be tempting to accept their offer. But their offer will far short of covering the damages you have suffered. They are just trying to save money.
