Incidents That Often Cause Back Injuries To Innocent Victims
Back injuries are very common because of the wide array of activities and incidents that can cause harm to this area of the body. Overworking the muscles of the back can cause minor issues and discomfort, while sudden impact, jerking motions, or lifting an object that is very heavy can cause severe injuries that include torn muscles or ligaments and bulging or ruptured discs. It is also possible for impact injuries or sudden motion to destroy nerves, damage to the spinal cord, or fractured or broken bones in the spine.

The most common causes of back injuries include vehicle accidents, slip and fall or trip and fall incidents, and injuries due to falling objects. In many instances, the victim of a back injury due to one of these situations is an innocent victim of hazardous conditions that were beyond their control and that cause them to suffer a great deal of pain and limitations in the future. If you or a loved one were recently involved in an accident that caused back injuries, please know that seeking a complete medical evaluation is vital. Fast medical treatment is the best way to pave the way for a good outcome and faster healing of the injuries you sustained.

Once you have gotten the medical care needed for your back injuries, please contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss the facts of the incident with a caring and compassionate back injury lawyer who can help you understand your rights and how to hold the appropriate party accountable if negligence was a factor in the injury incident. Our office team can be reached 24/7 to ensure you get the expert legal guidance you need when you need it the most.
Who Is Responsible For The Back Injuries You Suffered?
When you suffer a slip and fall or trip and fall injury incident, it is easy to blame yourself for being distracted or in a hurry. However, in more cases than you might expect, the reason for the injury incident is not your fault. Instead, the owner of the property or their staff failed to meet their legal obligation under premises liability to maintain the space in a safe and hazard-free manner. These requirements apply to both public and private spaces and were implemented to ensure the safety of the general public when they are at a property owned by another person or entity.

For example, if you tripped over a damaged flooring surface or slipped on water that was leaking from a plumbing pipe that the owner chose not to have repaired, they could be held liable for the losses and expenses you incurred because of the back injury you suffered on the property. The property owner could also be responsible for your injuries if you fell because of a damaged or missing safety handrail or because the steps at the property were damaged or worn out.

If your back injuries were the result of a vehicle accident, the person who is to blame for that accident is likely the one who will be responsible for your losses and expenses. The same would be true if you were walking or biking and were struck by a vehicle that the driver failed to control. To learn more about who could be liable for your back injuries and the expenses they have created, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to speak to an expert back injury lawyer regarding your injury incident.
What Is The Possible Value Of My Back Injury Lawsuit?
It is critical to understand that the compensation awarded for a back injury is not predetermined. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the amount awarded by the court is based on the actual losses and expenses suffered by the injury victim. Working closely with the Kenmore Law Group back injury team handling your case, you will compile all the documentation to verify the allowable expenses you incurred. The items most commonly used in this calculation process include but are not always limited to:

• The cost of legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your back injury lawsuit
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the back injury incident
• Your lost income if the back injuries you suffered prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed
• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the back injuries suffered in the incident

In cases that involve severe harm and a lengthy recovery process, it is common for the victim to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented expenses as are your medical bills or lost income, you will rely on your Kenmore Law Group legal team to offer guidance in selecting a fair and reasonable amount for pain and suffering. The team will review recently resolved cases with similar facts and details to ensure they are recommending an adequate amount to cover the suffering you endured.
How Long Do I Have To File A Back Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations defines the time given to an injury victim to file their case with the court. The time provided is strictly enforced, and once it has passed, the victim is no longer permitted to seek compensation and justice by filing a lawsuit. It is also critical to understand that there are very minimal exceptions that would provide the victim added time to file a claim once the Statute of Limitations has expired. In most personal injury cases, the time provided to the victim to file their lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury incident. However, when the liable party is a government entity or agency such as the city, county, state, or federal government, that time limit is reduced to only six months from the time of the injury incident. Please contact Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the time remaining for you to pursue legal action.
