Have You Sustained a Back Injury in Fort Myers?

Back injuries and pain will impact 80% of adults in their lives. If the injury was the result of someone else’s negligence, a back injury lawyer can fight to get you the compensation that you deserve.

Back injuries can leave you in debilitating pain, or they can be minor.

“Back pain can range in intensity from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp or shooting pain. It can begin suddenly as a result of an accident or by lifting something heavy, or it can develop over time as we age. Getting too little exercise followed by a strenuous workout also can cause back pain,” explains the NIH.

Common Types of Back Injuries

Any accident can lead to back pain. The spinal column is broken down into:

– 24 total moveable vertebrae and 33 individual bones
– Five sections or regions
– Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine
– Sacrum and coccyx

Injuries can occur in the discs between the spine, too. These discs are spongy and provide absorption and padding for the vertebrae. Ligaments also exist and protect the spinal cord followed by muscle, nerves, tendons, and cartilage.

All of these areas can become injured: vertebrae, muscle, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, nerves, and discs.

Back injuries can lead to long-term pain and suffering, significant medical bills, and time off of work. Some may require surgery or therapy to heal.

The injuries our clients sustain vary from one accident to the next. Common injuries include:

Fractures

Vertebrae fractures can impact the entire spine.

Protruding Discs

Also known as bulging discs, this injury occurs when the disc begins to bulge and puts pressure on nearby nerves, leading from moderate to severe pain.

Strain

An injury to the muscle or tendon.

Sprain

Damage to a ligament in the back caused by tearing or stretching.

Surgical Errors

Errors during surgery or medical treatment.

Soft Tissue

An STI is caused when damage occurs to the tendons, ligaments, or muscles.

Whiplash

Another form of soft tissue injury is whiplash. These injuries impact the upper back and/or neck. The thrust forward and back leads to this type of injury. Whiplash is often accompanied by other forms of back injuries.

How were you injured?

We understand the frustration of dealing with an injury and the financial fallout that comes with expensive medical bills. Losing your ability to work after an injury and being pressured or ignored by the insurance company is something no one should go through.

No matter how you were injured, a Florida personal injury lawyer from Viles & Beckman may be able to help you recover your losses.

Car Accidents

Car accidents happen in the blink of an eye. They can be incredibly disruptive to one’s life, requiring a significant amount of time and money to recover comfortably. We can help.

Motorcycle Accidents

A peaceful joyride cruising around on your motorcycle can come to an end if a careless driver causes a motorcycle accident. Get the compensation you need for your full recovery.

Truck Accidents

Large trucks are different than smaller vehicles; a collision can have catastrophic consequences. Understand your rights if you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident.

Uber & Lyft Accidents

Traffic accident and fatality rates have seen a sharp increase due to the presence of rideshare services in Florida. We can help determine who is responsible for your injuries.

Bicycle Accidents

Even with the best protective gear, riders are vulnerable. Accidents, often caused by negligent drivers, can result in serious or fatal injuries. Seek justice and compensation for your injuries.

Pedestrian Accidents

A pedestrian is rarely at-fault in an accident and often seriously injured. Victims will likely have the right to file for significant financial compensation to help with their recovery.

Trips, Slips and Falls

A fall of any sort can result in life-altering injuries that leave victims struggling to return to their quality of life. The worst part is... these accidents are often preventable. We’re here to help.

Workplace Accidents

The process for workplace accidents can be complicated and stressful when it comes to medical care, time off work, insurance, and more. Professional representation is key.

Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries generally result in the need for a lifetime of medical treatment and care. Work with a team you can trust to make sure you get exactly what you need for your recovery.

Wrongful Death

Surviving family members can file a lawsuit against an at-fault party for funeral costs, lost wages, and other damages for the loss of their loved one. We are sorry for your loss.

Who is Responsible for a Back Injury?

If your back injury is a result of someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation. A back injury lawyer will look at the events leading to the injury, but the most common causes are:

– Car accidents

– Truck accidents

– Motorcycle accidents

– Slips and falls

The negligent party is often responsible for the injury. If the accident occurred at work, workers’ compensation may not cover the costs. A work injury lawsuit may need to be filed if your medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life are significant.

As your attorney, we’ll sit down and determine which party or parties can be held liable for your injuries. Insurance company involvement, in the event of a car accident or workplace injury, may not always end with a favorable outcome.

Insurers are corporations, and there’s always a chance that they won’t approve a claim.

A denied claim does not mean that the insurer is in the right. When your claim is denied, you have a right to file an appeal. We’ll walk you through the appeal process, making sure that all of the paperwork and evidence is in place to strengthen your claim.

The skilled Fort Myers back injury lawyers at Viles & Beckman have experience dealing with insurance companies, investigating accidents, and helping clients recover damages for their injuries. Let a qualified attorney handle the details of your case.
