When Back Surgery Is Necessary after an Illinois Car Accident (Part B)

Common Types of Back Surgeries as a Result of a Car Accident in Illinois

Depending on the extent of damage and where the injury is located, there are different types of back surgery an individual may need. Because back surgery can lead to a lengthy recovery, this may cause you to lose income. Through an Illinois personal injury claim, you may be able to recover damages related to your lost wages, along with medical costs.

The common types of back surgery include:

• spinal fusion - permanently connects 2 or more bones to your spine;
• diskectomy - removal of the herniated portion of a disc;
• artificial disc Implantation - an alternative to spinal fusion;
• laminectomy - removal of bone that overlays the spinal canal; and
• vertebroplasty - bone cement is injected into compressed vertebrae.

Any type of back surgery is going to be extremely costly. Not only do you face financial repercussions from missing work but you also face the cost of the surgery. However, if your back injury was the result of someone else's misconduct or negligence, they may be held liable for these expenses through an Illinois personal injury claim.
