How can we help?

What accidents can lead to a back injury?

It is easy to do serious damage to your back. Reaching for something on a shelf just out of your reach, picking up a heavy object, taking care of the yard work – any of these innocuous, everyday actions can lead to an injury. When that injury is the result of negligence, however, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. Our team routinely handles complex claims for back injuries caused by:

Of all the serious injuries you could sustain, a back injury can be the most debilitating – and the most frustrating. Our lawyers have the knowledge and skill to fully investigate the cause of your injuries and hold responsible parties accountable for their negligent and reckless actions.

What are the different types of back injuries?

Our skilled North Dakota back injury lawyers work with a team of medical professionals who can provide accurate testimony about the suffering associated with numerous back injuries, including:

  • Whiplash is caused by the quick and extreme movement of the head that often occurs during a vehicle accident or blow to the head. The force of the movement can cause conditions ranging from minor discomfort to excruciating pain and a limited range of motion.
  • Herniated discs.When one of the springy cushions between the individual bones of your spine becomes injured, you may experience intense pain or numbness in your limbs.
  • Spinal cord injuries.Spinal cord injuries are extremely serious conditions that can result in partial or complete paralysis. Victims of a spinal cord injury may require months or years of medical treatment and rehabilitative care to handle daily necessities.
  • Lower back strain. A lower back strain can result from such incidents as a violent vehicle crash. When the impact of the crash causes your body to jerk, the force may place too much pressure on the back muscles, resulting in a strain.

What are some common causes of back injuries in North Dakota?

Injuries to the back can happen in a variety of settings. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are leading causes of back trauma. The sudden force of impact can twist the spine, crush vertebrae, or cause whiplash and disc injuries. Large truck collisions, especially on highways like I-94 and US-2, are particularly dangerous due to their size and speed.
  • Falling on ice, wet floors, or uneven surfaces can jolt the back, especially for older adults. Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe, and when they don’t, they may be liable for your injuries.
  • Back injuries are also very common in physical jobs like construction, farming, oil field work, and manufacturing. Lifting heavy objects, bending repeatedly, or falling at work can lead to serious spinal injuries.
  • ATV crashes, boating accidents, and snowmobile wrecks can also lead to back injuries, especially in a state like North Dakota, where outdoor recreation is popular year-round.

What is the long-term impact of a North Dakota back injury?

What may seem like a “simple” back injury at first can quickly turn into a long-term condition. Some people with back trauma need ongoing physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, or even surgery. Others may be left with permanent limitations. Back injuries can affect your:

  • Ability to work – Many jobs require lifting, standing, or sitting for long periods. A back injury might prevent you from returning to your job, or any job at all.
  • Daily activities – Everyday tasks like driving, cleaning, or playing with your kids can become painful or impossible.
  • Mental health – Chronic pain and limited mobility can lead to depression, anxiety, and a reduced quality of life.

That’s why it’s so important to get not only the medical care you need but also the financial support to afford that care.

Why is medical documentation of your back injury so important?

If you’re planning to file a personal injury claim for your back injury, strong medical documentation is one of the most important parts of your case. You’ll need to show:

  • The injury was caused by the accident
  • The severity of your condition
  • The treatment you’ve received
  • The impact the injury has on your life

This includes medical records, doctor’s notes, physical therapy reports, test results (like X-rays or MRIs), and any recommendations for future care. The more detailed your records are, the better your chances of receiving fair compensation.

Pro tip: Always follow your doctor’s treatment plan. If you skip appointments or stop therapy too soon, insurance companies may try to argue that your injury isn’t serious.

How can your North Dakota back injury lawyers help with my case?

At Larson Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we understand how to handle complex back injury claims. Insurance companies are often quick to downplay back injuries, calling them “soft tissue” or “minor” injuries. However, we know better, and we can fight to make sure your injuries are taken seriously. Here’s how we can help:

  • We gather evidence to prove how the injury happened, who was at fault, and how their negligence led to your pain.
  • We work with doctors and specialists who understand back injuries and can explain the long-term impact in clear terms.
  • We look at your medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, and pain and suffering to determine the full value of your claim.
  • We handle all communication with insurers and fight back against lowball offers. If needed, we’re ready to take your case to court.

How much is my North Dakota back injury claim worth?

Every case is different, but back injury victims in North Dakota may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses, including emergency care, hospital bills, rehab, medication, chiropractic care, injections, and surgery.
  • Lost income, if you missed work or can no longer work due to your injury.
  • Future medical care, if you need ongoing treatment or long-term support.
  • Pain and suffering, which includes physical pain, emotional distress, and impact on your daily life.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life, if you can no longer enjoy activities you once loved.
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement, for lasting injuries that affect your appearance or abilities.

If your injury was caused by a work-related accident, you may also be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, or, in some cases, a third-party personal injury lawsuit if another party was responsible.

What should I do after a back injury in North Dakota?

Taking the right steps after a back injury can make a big difference in your health—and your legal case.

  • Get medical attention. Don’t wait. The sooner you get checked out, the better.
  • Follow your doctor’s advice. Stick to your treatment plan, and attend all follow-ups.
  • Keep records. Save your bills, prescriptions, and notes from medical appointments.
  • Don’t sign anything from the insurance company. Talk to a lawyer before accepting any settlement.
