Back and spinal cord injuries can range from a herniated disc to quadriplegia. A sudden or severe impact is often the cause of severe injuries, common in auto accidents, falls and crushing accidents. The back and spine are an intricate network of bones, nerves, muscles and other tissues. A severe impact can cause damage that may not be completely reversible, resulting in long-term disability, pain or functional issues.
Catastrophic Back or Spine Injury Claims
Back and spinal cord injuries encompass a spectrum of traumas, from herniated discs to quadriplegia, each with its own set of challenges and implications for the individual’s quality of life. These injuries can arise from various scenarios, including auto accidents, falls, and crushing incidents, where sudden and severe impact can have devastating consequences. The back and spine comprise a complex network of bones, nerves, muscles, and tissues, making them vulnerable to significant damage when subjected to trauma.
Here are some key points to consider regarding back and spinal cord injuries:
- Range of Injuries: Back and spinal cord injuries vary widely in severity, from relatively minor issues like a herniated disc to life-altering conditions such as quadriplegia.
- Causes: These injuries commonly result from sudden or severe impacts, often occurring in auto accidents, falls from height or accidents involving heavy machinery or equipment.
- Complexity of the Anatomy: The back and spine’s intricate structure makes them particularly susceptible to damage. Even seemingly minor injuries can lead to long-term disability, chronic pain or functional impairments.
- Potential Irreversibility: In many cases, the damage caused by back and spinal cord injuries may not be fully reversible, leading to lifelong challenges and the need for ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.

Legal Options for Back or Spine Injuries
Those who have a catastrophic back or spinal cord injury may face years of medical treatment and other costs for their care. Surgery, therapy, medications and other equipment may be required, costing a fortune in medical bills. In addition, there may be time lost from work or permanent disability, resulting in loss of income. These tangible expenses, along with the emotional and physical pain caused by the accident, are damages that can be sought in a catastrophic injury claim against the negligent party.
In a severe injury accident claim, proving two facts to be awarded compensation is vital. First, it must be proved that the defendant’s negligent actions caused the injury; second, the injury to the plaintiff caused tangible and intangible losses. At Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law, we have won multi-million-dollar lawsuits on behalf of our clients, obtaining the compensation they need to make their lives easier after a catastrophic injury accident.
