# *Los Angeles Back Injury Lawyers: Fighting for Your Recovery*

Experienced legal representation for victims suffering serious back injuries across Los Angeles County.

## When a Back Injury Changes Everything, We Are Here to Help

According to [research conducted by Georgetown University](https://hpi.georgetown.edu/backpain/), some 16 million adults experience persistent or chronic back pain and are limited in certain everyday activities. In addition, back pain is the sixth most costly condition in the United States, where health care costs and indirect costs due to back pain are over $12 billion per year.

A serious back injury can disrupt every aspect of your life. Whether your injury resulted from a car accident, workplace incident, or slip and fall, you deserve aggressive legal representation to secure the compensation needed for your recovery.

At Cohen & Marzban Law Corporation, our Los Angeles back injury attorneys bring 40+ years of experience handling complex personal injury cases. With over $2 billion recovered, we understand the devastating impact back injuries have on injury victims and their families.

## Common Types of Back Injuries We Handle

The spine is a complex structure that can be damaged in many ways. Our experienced back injury lawyers have successfully represented clients suffering from various back injuries:

- **Herniated and ruptured discs:** When the body experiences trauma or sufficient force, the jelly donut-like disc cushioning between the vertebrae can rupture or bulge, pressing on nerves and causing radiating pain, numbness, and weakness that may require injections or surgery. This can happen with individual discs or multiple discs, most often in the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (low back).
- [**Spinal cord injuries**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/spinal-cord-injury)**:** Damage resulting in partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and dramatically altering quality of life.
- **Compression fractures:** Vertebrae that crack or collapse from high-impact accidents, causing chronic pain and spinal instability, potentially requiring surgery.
- **Soft tissue injuries:** Severe sprains and strains affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons, causing persistent pain and limited mobility.
- **Nerve damage:** Injuries affecting spinal nerves that lead to radiating pain, loss of sensation, or reduced motor function impacting daily activities.

Our legal team has the medical knowledge and litigation experience to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

## How Back Injuries Happen in Los Angeles

Los Angeles presents unique risks for back injuries, from congested freeways to busy construction sites. Understanding how these injuries commonly occur helps our legal team build strong cases:

- [**Motor vehicle accidents**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/car-accident)**:** The sudden impact from car crashes, especially rear-end collisions on congested Los Angeles freeways, frequently causes herniated discs and spinal fractures.
- [**Workplace accidents**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/work-related-injuries)**:** Construction site falls, heavy-lifting injuries, and being struck by falling objects often result in serious back injuries that require extensive medical treatment.
- [**Premises liability accidents**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/premises-liability)**:** Slip and fall accidents on poorly maintained property, uneven surfaces, or wet floors can cause significant spinal trauma.
- [**Pedestrian accidents**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/pedestrian-accidents)**:** When pedestrians are struck by vehicles, the spine often absorbs tremendous force, resulting in compression fractures or severe nerve damage.
- [**Motorcycle accidents**](https://losangelespersonalinjury.attorney/practice-areas/motorcycle-accidents)**:** The lack of protection in motorcycle crashes frequently leads to catastrophic back and spinal injuries.
- **Repetitive strain:** Jobs requiring constant lifting, bending, or awkward positions can cause cumulative trauma to the back over time.

Our experienced back injury lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all liable parties and pursue fair compensation.

## Compensation Available for Back Injury Victims

Our experienced legal team fights to secure maximum compensation covering all aspects of your injury:

### Economic Damages

Tangible financial losses with clear dollar amounts:

- **Medical expenses:** Past and future costs, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, pain management, and medical equipment. Under [California Civil Code Section 3333](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV&sectionNum=3333), injury victims have the right to recover all reasonable medical expenses related to their injuries.
- **Lost wages:** Income missed during recovery when you cannot work.
- **Reduced earning capacity:** Compensation when back injuries prevent returning to your occupation or limit future earning potential.
- **Property damage:** Repair or replacement costs for damaged vehicles or belongings.

### Non-Economic Damages

Intangible ways a back injury has diminished your quality of life:

- **Pain and suffering:** Compensation for physical discomfort and chronic pain.
- **Emotional distress:** Damages for anxiety, depression, and psychological impacts.
- **Loss of enjoyment of life:** When a serious back injury prevents participation in hobbies, sports, or family activities.
- **Permanent disability:** Compensation for lasting physical limitations affecting independence.

## FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Back injury settlements vary significantly based on injury severity, treatment costs, lost income, and long-term prognosis. Minor soft tissue injuries may settle for thousands, while serious back injuries requiring surgery or causing permanent disability can result in settlements from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Our experienced back injury lawyer evaluates your case's unique circumstances to pursue fair compensation.

- What is the average payout for a back injury?

California's [statute of limitations](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CCP&sectionNum=335.1) generally allows 2 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims against government entities have much shorter deadlines, often requiring notice within six months. Contact our legal team promptly to protect your rights.

- How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if symptoms seem minor. Follow all treatment recommendations. Document the accident scene with photos if possible. Obtain witness contact information. Report the incident to the relevant parties. Avoid discussing fault or giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting our experienced back injury attorneys.

- What should I do immediately after sustaining a back injury?

Case timelines vary based on injury severity, treatment duration, and insurance company cooperation. Some cases resolve through settlement within months, while complex cases may require a year or more. We prioritize securing maximum compensation over quick settlements.
