Back injuries are among some of the most severe and life-altering injuries you can experience after an accident.

Your spine and spinal cord extend from the base of your skull all the way down to your tailbone. The spinal cord, which is located within the vertebral canal of the spine, carries messages from the brain, triggering and controlling movement throughout the body. The importance of the spine to the body’s overall health and well-being cannot be overstated. Injuries to this part of the body can easily be catastrophic or even fatal.
Some common back injuries include:
Depending on the severity of the injury and the location along the spine, symptoms of back injuries can include:
Our back injury lawyers in Connecticut can help you seek justice and hold negligent parties accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
Connecticut allows injured accident victims to seek damages from the at-fault party. The process for recovering compensation will vary depending on the type of accident. A car accident involving a large truck will be handled differently than a car accident involving another passenger vehicle. Workplace accidents and medical malpractice cases must be approached differently as they each have their own sets of requirements. A back injury attorney can help you determine the next steps to move forward in your case.
Having access to sufficient financial resources after you’ve been badly injured can make a significant difference in your physical and psychological recovery. You may be able to receive damages for the costs associated with:
If you are married, your spouse may have a claim for loss of consortium, meaning the way in which your injury has affected your marital relationship. The law describes this as the loss of companionship, society, and affection.
If you have minor children, they may have a claim for loss of parental consortium; that is the way your injuries have affected relations with your children.
Your Connecticut back injury attorney will work with you to identify the types of damages that are relevant in your case to ensure nothing gets left out of your claim. Building a strong injury case requires careful attention to damages so that the full cost of your accident is appropriately calculated.
