Spinal Cord & Back Injuries: Why Even “Minor” Wrecks Lead to Major Lifelong Pain
Spinal Cord & Back Injuries: Why Even “Minor” Wrecks Lead to Major Lifelong Pain
Back and neck injuries often worsen over time — and insurance companies hope you don’t know that.
The Spine Is Fragile — and Critical to Life
Sudden force from a crash — even at low speeds — can rupture discs, damage nerves, or compress vertebrae. Injuries such as herniated discs may not appear on X-rays and can take days before symptoms explode into chronic pain.
Insurance companies love to call these cases “soft tissue” and low value. We don’t let them get away with it.
Common Spinal Injuries from Crashes
- Disc herniations and bulges
- Compression fractures
- Nerve impingement and sciatica
- Whiplash-associated disorders
Left untreated, they can lead to permanent disability and loss of mobility.
Proving the Hidden Injury
We work with orthopedic experts and neurologists to document:
- Advanced imaging (MRI, CT)
- Changes in daily function
- Pain progression over time
The True Financial Toll
- Physical therapy for months or years
- Spinal injections or surgery
- Lost wages from missed work
- Lifetime pain management
Your settlement should cover your future — not just today.
