Back Injury Lawyers For The Win
How Car Crashes Cause Serious Back Injuries
A back injury after a car crash can upend your life in an instant. The pain may start right away, or it might creep in days later as swelling or nerve damage sets in. Even if you feel fine, getting checked by a doctor is essential. Delayed back injuries can worsen quickly and turn into lifelong problems if ignored.

Common types of back injuries in car accidents
Every crash has a story. On roads like I-91, Route 5, or the Mass Pike, even a split-second mistake can cause lasting damage. Rear-end collisions jolt the spine with violent force, while side impacts twist the body in ways it was never meant to move. These crashes can rupture discs, fracture vertebrae, or compress nerves that control movement and balance.
Common back injuries from car accidents include:
- Herniated Discs: The cushions between vertebrae can rupture or bulge, pressing on nerves and causing pain, weakness, or tingling down the arms or legs.
- Compression Fractures: Sudden impact can crush vertebrae, resulting in sharp, stabbing pain, spinal deformity, or reduced height.
- Spondylolisthesis: A vertebra can shift out of position, pinching nerves and creating instability that worsens with movement.
- Facet Joint Injuries: The joints that connect vertebrae may fracture or swell, leading to stiffness and chronic pain in the neck or lower back.
- Lumbar Sprains and Strains: Overstretched muscles or torn ligaments in the lower back can trigger spasms, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
- Spinal Cord Trauma: Severe impact can bruise or sever the spinal cord, resulting in permanent changes to strength, sensation, or paralysis below the injury site.
Raipher works with spine specialists, orthopedic surgeons, and rehabilitation experts to document the full medical extent of these injuries. That detailed evidence is what allows our team to build strong claims that stand up to insurance companies and deliver full compensation for every client.
The cost of a back injury and why you need a fighter
The aftermath of a serious back injury can feel endless. Between doctor visits, physical therapy, and time off work, the costs add up fast. Studies show that the average lifetime cost of a severe back injury can reach $500,000 to over $1 million, especially when surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care are required. Even moderate spinal injuries can lead to hundreds of thousands in medical expenses and lost income.
You’re juggling doctor visits, physical therapy, and missed paychecks, all while an insurance adjuster questions your pain. They may even claim your injury was preexisting or “not that serious.” Those tactics are designed to wear you down.

Most firms will settle early and move on. We stay until you get what you deserve. From the Big Dig to some of the largest verdicts in Western Massachusetts, Raipher knows what winning looks like and how to get you there.
