Back Injury in Phoenix

Back injuries can ruin your life. For perspective, your spinal cord, which runs across your back, is one of the most sensitive parts of your body. A heavy blow to your back is all it takes to cause significant nerve damage.

When that happens, there's always a risk of experiencing paralysis. In some cases, the injured may need expensive emergency surgeries to treat the problem. Even so, some never make a full recovery.

FAQ

I Suffered a Back Injury While at Work. What Are My Legal Options?

Workers' compensation insurance usually covers work-related injuries, but only if you're an employee. If eligible for workers' compensation, you may recover medical expenses and lost wages.

Can My Employer Fire Me for Filing a Back Injury Claim?

Your employer cannot fire you for filing a workers' compensation claim. It's against state and federal labor and employment laws. If they do, you may be able to file a separate lawsuit against them.

I Was Responsible for the Injury While at Work. Can I Still File a Claim?

Workers' compensation insurance is a no-fault system. What this means is that you can still file a claim even if you were responsible for the injury. That said, this insurance won't cover accidents caused by recklessness or intoxication at the workplace.

A back injury specialist from our team can evaluate the settlement to determine if it covers all your damages now and in the future.

I Was Unable To Work After Suffering a Back Injury. Can I Include Lost Wages in My Claim?
