The back is enormously complex—one of the most complicated parts of the body. It is made up of muscle, bones, joints, tendons, and skin. Running down the center of your back is your spinal column, which includes your spinal cord surrounded by protective vertebrae. If you suffer a jarring motion or blunt impact, then any number of things can go wrong. People commonly injure their backs in the following ways:
Slipping and falling
Automobile or motorcycle accident
Sports injury
Repetitive motion
Medical malpractice
When someone else is to blame for the injury, then you might be able to sue them for financial compensation. For example, a business owner who did not keep their premises safe could be legally responsible for your injuries if you suffer a slip and fall, just as someone who accidentally rear-ends you is legally responsible.
Because each situation is different, you should contact a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to review the facts of your case. You may be able to sue more than one person or company, which can increase the likelihood that you will receive needed compensation.
