Common Types of Back Injuries

Injuries to the back are quite common and may occur in situations involving auto accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, defective products, and much more. They can even happen as a result of medical malpractice. When a medical professional fails to diagnose or fails to treat a serious back injury, the patient may be further harmed-and may even sustain permanent injuries as a result. Sadly, this is only one example of a medical malpractice claim.

Our Rochester back injury lawyers can handle the entire personal injury or medical malpractice claim for you. Whether you or a loved one has suffered a contusion, slipped disk, strain, or any other type of back injury, we urge you to contact us for trusted legal guidance.

Types of Spinal Injuries

There are three types of spinal cord injuries:

• Complete injuries: The victim has no feeling or ability to control limbs below the injury site.
• Incomplete injuries: The victim may have no feeling but still have some ability to control the injured part of the body or the reverse may be true.
• Anterior cord syndrome: The victim may retain some sensation and control but is unable to feel pain, temperature, or pressure.

Legal Rights and Compensation for Back Injury Victims in Rochester

If you've suffered a back injury in Rochester, New York, it's important to understand your legal rights. Under New York law, injured workers may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if their injury occurred on the job. These benefits can include medical expenses, lost wages, and disability payments.

In addition to workers' compensation, you may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent party. For example, if your back injury was caused by a car accident or a defective product, you may have grounds to sue the responsible party.

Potential Compensation

The amount of compensation you can receive for a back injury will depend on the severity of your injury and the circumstances surrounding the accident. Potential forms of compensation may include:

• Medical expenses: Costs for treatment, medication, surgery, and rehabilitation.
• Lost wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to your injury.
• Future lost earning capacity: If your injury prevents you from working at full capacity in the future.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional pain caused by your injury.
• Punitive damages: In some cases, if the defendant's actions were particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded as a punishment.
