Back Injuries and Rollover Accidents

Sport utility vehicles are often chosen by drivers for their cargo space and ability to handle a variety of terrains. Unfortunately for drivers, there are many dangers associated with SUV’s, including a heightened risk of rollover accidents. These devastating crashes can leave individuals with permanent disability and lifelong health problems. Back injuries are frequently sustained in rollover crashes due to rapid compression, extension, and torque acting on the spine and the muscles of the back.

If you or someone you love has suffered from an injury because of an SUV rollover accident, it may be possible to obtain financial compensation through a civil lawsuit against the negligent manufacturer. Contact the SUV rollover accident lawyers of The Willis Law Firm at 800-883-9858 today to discuss your rights with a knowledgeable attorney.

Types of Back Injuries

In a rollover accident, the pressure of the collision is distributed throughout the vehicle and passengers may be subject to severe injuries. The back is in danger because of the jarring motion often experienced in accidents and the delicate design of muscles, bones, and nerves throughout this part of the body. Some types of back injuries that may be incurred by victims of SUV rollovers include:

  • Herniated discs
  • Strained muscles
  • Nerve damage
  • Torn or damaged ligaments
  • Damaged bones in the spinal column
  • Spinal cord injuries, which may result in partial or total paralysis

Back injuries often require lengthy and costly medical treatment in order to rehabilitate the victim and these burdens should not be borne alone.
