Back Injuries

A back injury may have serious and long-term consequences. In some cases, a back injury may be so debilitating that it interferes with your ability to do even the most mundane tasks in your day-to-day life. If you or someone in your family sustained a back injury due to the carelessness of another individual or a business, you should reach out to a Baltimore back injury lawyer who can help you pursue the compensation that you deserve for your harm. Injury attorney Julia Arfaa and the staff at the Arfaa Law Group are ready to assist you throughout the duration of your case.

A back injury may affect bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons, discs, or sometimes the neck. Many injuries sustained to the neck or back may lead to permanent disabilities. Back injuries may result from automobile accidents, slip and falls, sports accidents, construction accidents, and other unexpected events.

Depending on the circumstances in which the accident occurred, there may have been someone else who was responsible for causing a victim’s injury. For example, a driver may have been speeding or driving while intoxicated before striking the victim’s car and causing a spinal cord injury. When this happens, a back injury lawyer in the Baltimore area can assist a victim with pursuing a personal injury claim for compensation.

Car accident and other personal injury cases typically hinge on proving the negligence of the defendant. This means that they breached an applicable duty of care in the situation and caused the victim’s injuries. It will be important to refute any allegations of contributory negligence on the part of the victim, since this would prevent them from recovering any compensation under Maryland law.

Unfortunately, a back injury may be extremely costly to treat. The burden should not fall on a victim or their loved ones if someone else was responsible for causing an accident that easily could have been avoided by using reasonable care. In these situations, Maryland law allows plaintiffs to seek both economic and non-economic damages. A plaintiff will typically be able to recover medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income and benefits, rehabilitation costs, property damage, and any other expenses related to the accident. Your attorney can gather all of the relevant medical records and other evidence to demonstrate to the jury the full impact of the injuries and the ways that they will affect your life in the future.
