Spinal Fracture Injury Lawyer

At Abronson Law Offices, we represent clients across California who’ve suffered broken back and spinal fracture injuries due to someone else’s negligence. If your injury affects your ability to work, care for yourself, or enjoy daily life, we’re here to help.

There are strict legal timeframes to file a claim in California. For most incidents, you have two years from the date of the incident but when a non-federal government agency is involved, that window could be as short as six months. Don’t wait and risk your recovery. Contact our legal team today for a free consultation.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for a Broken Back Injury?

According to the Journal of Spine Surgery there are approximately seventy-six-thousand five-hundred incidents of a spinal fracture per year. Further, 48% of these injuries can be attributed to falls on stairs, ladders, or steps.
Spinal fractures may not always be obvious, but their consequences are often catastrophic. Some injuries involve immediate neurological symptoms, while others worsen over time as vertebrae collapse or compress nearby nerves. Insurance companies often dispute causation and undervalue long-term care.

That’s where we come in. We build your case with medical records, surgical reports, diagnostic imaging, and expert witness testimony. We don’t just prove the fracture, we prove how it changed your life. Our firm works with medical experts, vocational evaluators, and care planners to estimate the true lifetime cost of your injury, including future surgeries, pain management, and lost earning potential.

Types of Broken Back Injuries We Handle

Compression Fractures
Common in the lower back, especially in older clients. Vertebrae collapse under pressure, causing pain, height loss, and spinal curvature.

Burst Fractures
Caused by high-energy trauma. The vertebra shatters outward, risking spinal cord damage. These often require stabilization and surgical repair.

Fracture-Dislocations
Involve both a break and misalignment of the spine. These are unstable injuries that threaten spinal cord integrity and usually require emergency surgery.

Flexion-Distraction Fractures
Often result from seatbelt injuries in car accidents. The spine is violently pulled apart, damaging bones, ligaments, and surrounding tissue.

Stable vs. Unstable Fractures
Stable fractures may heal without surgery, while unstable fractures affect the spine’s ability to bear weight and may cause progressive nerve damage.

Kyphosis from Improper Healing
If the vertebra collapses and heals incorrectly, the result is abnormal spinal curvature, chronic pain, and risk of additional complications.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for:
   · Medical expenses (past and future)
   · Lost income and reduced earning potential
   · Pain and suffering
   · Rehabilitation and long-term care
   · Emotional distress
   · Any other damages unique to your case

We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and crash investigators to build a strong case and address all the impacts this incident has had on your life. Our goal is to make sure your compensation reflects the true cost of how any incident has affected your life, not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
