  • Construction site accidents involving falls
  • Repetitive strain from poor workplace ergonomics
  • Being struck by falling objects

Typical Injuries

  • 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

How We Prove Liability

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.

Texas Legal Framework

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.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
