Accident Back Injury

Although one of the most common causes of back injury is from lifting in an inappropriate way, it is also possible to sustain back injuries in an accident. Some of the most common types of accident back injury may include slips and falls, for example when floors are wet, slippery or cluttered; motor vehicle accidents, for example when a passenger is jarred or crushed; falls from a height; and sports injuries. Any type of accident back injury may have important implications, not only due to the initial pain, healthcare costs and time off work, but also because it may place the person at increased risk of recurring back injury. This can lead to substantial lifetime medical costs for such services as physiotherapy, pain relief medications, osteopathy and other treatment, as well as substantial time off work, leading to loss of earnings.
