Back injuries are a common health problem affecting people of all ages. They can range from minor strains and sprains to more severe conditions like herniated discs, spinal fractures, and nerve damage.

Client’s case

A 42 year old woman had a history of preexisting treatment and problems in her cervical and lumbar spine.  She underwent cervical disc surgery.  The defense argued that her condition arose, not from her vehicle being struck in the rear, but from a preexisting neck condition.  We overcame this defense and settled before trial.
