I Have a Previous Back Injury and Recently Hurt My Back at Work. Will That Affect My Claim?

If you’ve injured your back on the job, it’s tough. You’re not only hurt, but you’re also looking at time away from work and the uncertainty of a workers’ compensation claim. If you have a preexisting back injury, things are more stressful still. If you’ve hurt your back on the job and you have a preexisting back condition, you need experienced legal counsel. Your claim is too critical to leave to chance, and your previous injury will likely make your claim that much more complicated.

Back & Neck Injuries from Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are among the most common traffic accidents. While many people think “fender-bender” when they think about rear-end accidents, such accidents often involve significant impact and can lead to serious injuries like back and neck injuries. If another driver has rear-ended you, seek immediate medical attention, even if you don't think your injuries are particularly serious. Back and neck injuries can worsen with time—and can morph into serious, debilitating injuries that cause significant damages.

The Dangerous Habit of Running Red Lights

Traffic signals and signs are in place for a reason—to help keep our roads safer for everyone who travels on them. When drivers engage in driving habits that include ignoring important safety signals—like stop lights—they endanger everyone with whom they share the road. Drivers who run red lights are dangerous drivers, and if you have suffered an injury caused by someone running a stop light, you need experienced legal counsel immediately.
