Back Injury


Back injuries are the most common type of injury claim that causes people to take time off of work. In fact, over a quarter of all claims that caused people to lose time at work were attributed to back injuries, according to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario.

Back injuries are complex, painful, and very immobilizing. Depending on the type and extent of injury, damage to your back can cause short- or long-term disability. If you recently suffered a back injury in an accident, discuss your options with a Toronto back injury lawyer to file a catastrophic injury claim and ensure you’re compensated for your damages.

Treatments

Treatments for back injuries vary according to nature of the damage. For instance, back strains and sprains are usually treated with ice packs, compression, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

For fractures, spinal disc injuries, and spinal cord damage, surgery might be needed, and sometimes multiple surgeries. Activity modification, bracing, and pain medication may be part of the treatment plan, as well.

Other treatments that may be beneficial for back injuries include:

  • Massage
  • Doctor-recommended exercises
  • Physical therapy
  • Ultrasound
  • Chiropractic care

Compensable Damages in a Claim

If you sustained a back injury in an accident such as a slip and fall, auto accident, or any other type of accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering and any other losses by filing a tort claim. There are additional benefits available to you if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident. These benefits are referred to Accident Benefits. Treatments for back injuries are expensive and may be ongoing and long-term. You may have to hire someone to help with housework or errands while you’re incapacitated. These expenses combined with a reduced working capacity can create a serious financial hardship. With the assistance of a Toronto back injury lawyer, you can file a claim to pursue compensation for all your back injury-related damages

  • Treatments, surgeries, and pain management
  • Lost wages
