Understanding Back Injury Cases

Common Causes

In New Braunfels, back injury cases often trace back to conditions on I-35 and near I-35 through New Braunfels (one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Texas). Local drivers and pedestrians encounter these specific risks when navigating these corridors.

  • Rear end and side impact car collisions
  • Lifting heavy objects at work without proper equipment
  • Slip and fall accidents landing on the back
  • Construction site accidents involving falls
  • Repetitive strain from poor workplace ergonomics
  • Being struck by falling objects

Typical Injuries

Accident victims in New Braunfels are typically transported to trauma centers including Christus Santa Rosa Hospital (New Braunfels). The following injuries are common outcomes of these incidents.

  • Herniated and bulging discs in the lumbar or thoracic spine
  • Compression fractures of the vertebrae
  • Sciatica and radiculopathy causing leg pain and numbness
  • Lumbar sprain and strain
  • Degenerative disc disease accelerated by trauma
  • Chronic pain requiring long term pain management

Establishing Liability

For back injury claims filed in Comal, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific New Braunfels locations, including I-35 through New Braunfels (one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Texas).

Back injury claims require MRI or CT imaging to document the structural damage and correlate it with the accident. Insurance companies often argue that back problems are preexisting or degenerative rather than caused by the accident. Medical experts who can distinguish between age related changes and acute traumatic injury are essential for overcoming this defense and connecting the accident to the current condition.

Relevant Texas Law

Residents of New Braunfels pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.

Texas follows the "eggshell plaintiff" rule, meaning a defendant takes the plaintiff as they find them, including any preexisting spinal conditions that were aggravated by the accident. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery for past and future medical expenses, including surgery, injections, physical therapy, and pain management. The collateral source rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 41.0105 limits recovery of medical expenses to amounts actually paid or incurred.
