Slip and fall accidents in Georgia can happen just about anywhere. While there are many different outcomes of falls, one common type of injury resulting in a slip and fall is a back injury. People who sustain back injuries may suffer from one of the many different types of injuries, including:
- Back sprain
- Back strain
- Muscle and ligament tears
- Herniated disc or ruptured disc
- Pinched nerves (nerve damage)
- Broken back
- Vertebral fracture
- Compression fracture
- Paralysis
Depending on the type of back injury, some people may be able to heal while others may have chronic back pain that lasts forever. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned back injuries can be debilitating, causing victims to be unable to drive, work, walk, or even care for themselves.
