Back injuries are among the most common — and most disputed — injuries in personal injury cases. This guide explains how to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
Common Back Injuries in Accident Cases
- Lumbar disc herniation (L4-L5, L5-S1)
- Cervical disc herniation
- Compression fractures (often from fall or high-force impact)
- Facet joint injuries
- Spinal cord injuries (in severe cases)
Why Back Injury Claims Are Disputed
Pre-existing degenerative disc disease is nearly universal in adults over 40. Insurance companies routinely argue that all post-accident symptoms relate to pre-existing conditions. CDF Law works with spinal specialists to document aggravation and distinguish pre- from post-accident pathology.
