If you have been involved in an accident either at work or on the road, one of the most common injuries that occurs is back injury. The back is made up of thirty-three bones that extend from the head to the pelvis. The three types of vertebrae are cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae. Due to the complexity of the bones, muscles, and ligaments in the back, even a relatively small injury can lead to long-term pain, but a Tampa personal injury lawyer from the firm can help you fight for compensation.

How a Tampa Personal Injury Lawyer Could Help

Back pain and injury could result from an acute injury such as an auto accident, or it could result from repetitive motions performed at work. A stretched or torn ligament is known as a sprain. When the tissue that connects the bones to the joint separates, it can be painful or impossible to move that joint. This type of sprain in the back is common in those required to lift heavy objects. If your employer did not provide you with adequate training, they could be held liable for your injuries. Also, if another party was the cause of an accident, they could also be responsible for your medical bills and pain and suffering.

Back injuries can cause people to miss work for weeks and can even lead to permanent disabilities. If you have been the victim of an accident, please talk to a member of our legal team. We have experience in defending these types of cases as well as premises liability, nursing home negligence, and defective products.
