San Francisco Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
A burst fracture to the spine occurs when the front of a vertebrae explodes due a sudden impact or unnatural twisting motion. Although a burst fracture does not necessarily result in paralysis, the fragments of bone chips and disc material can lead to serious pain and other problems, as the material moves throughout the spinal region.
If you have been diagnosed with a burst fracture spine injury following an accident, you may experience many months of medical treatment, surgery and pain. If the accident was the result of someone else's negligence, you are entitled to seek full and fair compensation for:
- Medical treatment, surgery and pain medications
- Lost earnings, time away from work
- Costs associated with occupational therapy and physical therapy
- Pain and suffering for spinal injuries and back injuries
Were you married at the time of your spine injury? Your spouse can also file a claim for damages.
