Back injuries from road traffic accidents can vary, they can be mild or more severe and can have a detrimental impact on your daily life, either way, you may be entitled to claim compensation. More severe back injuries are usually linked to spinal injuries.

What are back injuries?

Back injuries can vary, they can be mild or severe, either way, you are eligible to claim compensation.  The back is very prone to injuries, as it is made of a range of components that can be damaged in different ways, leading to an array of injuries:

  • The spinal cord, the nerve tissue that runs through the length of the spine.
  • Nerves, which allow the brain to transfer messages to the rest of the body.
  • Vertebrae, which are bones that protect the spinal cord.
  • Discs, jelly discs that sit between the vertebrae, acting as cushions on the spine.

Most commonly, back injuries relate to:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Fractured vertebrae
  • Herniated discs, also known as a slipped disc.

Back injuries can be not only painful but also restrict you from doing your daily tasks. In some cases, injuries can be lifelong or take a long time to recover.

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

The spinal cord is an extension of the brain, it is an extremely important part of the body that carries messages from the brain to the rest of the body using nerves. If the spinal cord is injured, it can have a detrimental impact on your health. If any of the nerves in the spinal cord are damaged; it can have a huge impact on how effectively your brain can retrieve and receive messages around the body, leading to loss of control and even paralysis.
