Back Injury Accidents in Los Angeles

Lower back pain is the number one cause of disability and it accounts for most cases of back injuries. Back injuries¹ tend to cause chronic and life-long problems, but the full extent of the injury may not be apparent for months or even years after the accident.

Common back injuries in California include:

• Protruding disc which occurs when soft cartilage in the center of a disc sticks into the spinal column.
• Bulging disc in which more than 50% of the soft cartilage in the disc is pushed out into the spinal column. While the soft cartilage has not pushed through the outer layer of the disc, a bulging disc can compress nerve roots.
• Herniated disc in which the inner cartilage of a disc tears through the outer layer, usually compressing a nerve root or the spinal cord.
• Spinal cord injuries such as spinal fractures, which occur when a bone in the spine collapses or fractures
• Paralysis, the partial or total loss of sensation and function that involves motion in part of the body. A severe back injury can disrupt communication between the brain and parts of the body.
• Cervical lumbar sprains
• Thoracic muscle sprains
• Soft tissue damage
• Chronic back pain
