What Is the Average Settlement for Upper and Middle Back Pain After Car Accident?

The average settlement for upper and middle back pain after a car accident can vary widely based on injury severity and prognosis. No two people may experience pain in the same way, and back injuries can affect victims differently. For example, your treatment expenses and the time you miss from work are unique contributing factors. In combination with others, these factors add up to form the financial value of your injury case.

When our personal injury team represents you, we treat your case like the one-of-a-kind case it is. That means we take time to assess and assign an accurate value to your injuries and the damages that stem from them. We also use your evidence and written prognosis to ensure your recoverable damages reflect the care you will need now and in the future until you are fully recovered.

Identifying the Cause of Your Back Pain

Numerous factors can cause upper and middle back pain after a collision. For example, the accident could have left you with:

  • Whiplash or other soft tissue injuries
  • Muscle sprains
  • Muscle strains
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Injured discs
  • Damaged nerves

According to Cedar Sinai Medicine research, your treatment plan for back pain can include pain and anti-inflammatory medication. It can also include long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation. In addition, some severe cases may require surgery. Your initial and ongoing treatment costs will greatly influence the overall value of your car accident case.

Other Damages You Could Recover in a Settlement

When our attorneys sit down with you to determine the value of your car accident case, we work hard to make sure no expenses are omitted. We gather as much evidence as possible for you, but we may ask you to bring receipts and other supporting documents in your possession. In addition to medical bills, your recoverable damages may include:

  • Current and future income loss: Back pain can make it difficult to stand for long periods or participate in physical activities, which could prevent you from working.
  • Loss of future earning capacity: Chronic back pain could keep you from returning to the same job at full capacity, or at all. This could cause you to take a pay cut.
  • Treatment-related travel expenses: Your injuries and/or vehicle damage may prevent you from driving, forcing you to rely on other transportation to get to your medical appointments.
  • Property damage or destruction: You may need to replace or repair your vehicle.
  • Mental and physical pain and suffering: Back pain can be debilitating, potentially affecting your ability to care for yourself, spend time with your family, or enjoy activities the same way you did before.

Before we submit your compensation request to the at-fault party or entertain any requests from them, we make sure the value we assign to your case is accurate. We also help you avoid accepting a speedy settlement that will not have taken all your expenses and losses into account.

You don’t Have Long to File a Car Accident Lawsuit

When you seek your specific recoverable damages, the state imposes a filing deadline on your potential lawsuit. In Louisiana, CC Art. 3492 generally allows you to initiate a lawsuit up to two years from the date of the accident. Failing to comply with this deadline means you lose your right to take the case to court.

When we collect the accident report as part of your case’s evidence, we’ll use it to identify the collision date and other critical details. Once we know when the collision occurred, we can ensure compliance with the statute of limitations so your case is not dismissed before it is even heard.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
