Living with a back injury is exhausting. Every movement reminds you of the accident. You worry about mounting medical bills, missed paychecks, and whether you'll ever feel normal again. If someone else caused your injury, you shouldn't have to carry this burden alone.
As experienced back injury lawyers, we've spent over three decades helping people just like you get the compensation they deserve. We know how insurance companies try to minimize back injuries – claiming they're pre-existing, exaggerated, or unrelated to your accident. We don't let them get away with it.
Don't wait to get the help you need. Every day matters.

What Qualifies as a Back Injury Case?
If your back injury was caused by someone else's negligence, carelessness, or wrongful actions, you likely have grounds for a legal claim. Our back injury attorneys handle cases involving all types of spinal and back trauma:
Disc Injuries
- • Herniated discs (slipped or ruptured discs)
- • Bulging discs
- • Degenerative disc disease
- • Disc compression and desiccation
Spinal Injuries
- • Spinal cord damage
- • Fractured or compressed vertebrae
- • Spinal stenosis
- • Spondylolisthesis
Nerve Injuries
- • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- • Pinched nerves
- • Radiculopathy
- • Nerve root compression
Soft Tissue Injuries
- • Muscle strains and tears
- • Ligament sprains
- • Facet joint injuries
- • Chronic myofascial pain
Even if your injury aggravated a pre-existing condition, you may still be entitled to compensation. California law recognizes the "eggshell plaintiff" rule – the at-fault party is responsible for the full extent of your injuries, even if you were more susceptible to harm.
Common Causes of Serious Back Injuries
A serious back injury accident can happen in seconds but affect you for years. Our top rated back injury lawyers have successfully handled cases arising from:
Car and Truck Accidents
Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, and high-speed impacts commonly cause herniated discs, whiplash-related back injuries, and spinal fractures. Learn more about car accident cases.
Commercial Vehicle Collisions
The massive force of 18-wheelers and delivery trucks often causes catastrophic spinal trauma. See our truck accident representation.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained property frequently result in fractured vertebrae and disc injuries. Explore slip and fall claims.
Workplace and Construction Injuries
Lifting heavy objects, falls from heights, and being struck by equipment cause debilitating back injuries. Read about workplace injury claims.

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, lawyers, and medical consultants working to pay you as little as possible. A back injury attorney levels the playing field. Here's how we fight for you:
- Thorough investigation – We gather evidence, obtain police reports, interview witnesses, and document the scene to build an airtight case.
- Medical expert coordination – We work with spine surgeons, orthopedists, and pain management specialists to document your injuries and prove the treatment you need.
- Full damage calculation – We calculate not just your current bills, but future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and the true value of your pain and suffering.
- Aggressive negotiation – We don't accept lowball offers. Our back injury lawyers negotiate hard to get you fair compensation.
- Trial-ready representation – If the insurance company won't offer a fair settlement, we're prepared to take your case to court.
Compensation Available for Back Injury Claims
A fair back injury settlement should cover all your losses – not just immediate medical bills. Our back injury lawyers fight to recover:
- Medical Bills (Past and Future)
Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, medications, medical equipment, and all future treatment your doctors recommend.
- Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
Income lost during recovery, reduced hours, and diminished earning capacity if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous occupation.
- Future Care and Treatment
Ongoing physical therapy, future surgeries, pain management, home healthcare, and assistive devices you may need for years to come.
- Pain and Suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment of life, and the impact on your relationships and daily activities.
