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

If you have sustained a back injury as a result of a car accident in Illinois, you may be facing the prospect of undergoing back surgery. This may lead you to wonder if you should pursue filing an Illinois personal injury claim.

Consulting with a Chicago car accident attorney is the best way to understand what your legal options are and if you should proceed with seeking compensation for your back injury through an Illinois personal injury claim. A Chicago car accident attorney will determine if the car accident in Illinois was the fault of someone else and if they can be held legally liable.

 

How Back Surgery May Affect Your Illinois Personal Injury Claim

If your car accident in Illinois resulted in a serious back injury, the need for back surgery may not be evident until later on. Many times a back injury will first be treated with other options such as physical therapy, acupuncture and medication. However, further down the road a doctor may determine that back surgery is necessary.

This can affect your Illinois personal injury claim because the negligent party’s insurance company may try to say that the back surgery has nothing to do with your car accident in Illinois.

They may try to say that your back surgery is related to a pre-existing medical condition, such as a degenerative condition or an old injury.

This is why it is in your best interest to seek the help of an experienced Chicago car accident attorney soon after an accident or at the very least, when your back injury gets progressively worse or is slow in healing. In the event that you end up needing back surgery, you will need to prove that it was related to your car accident in Illinois. This can significantly affect the outcome of your Illinois personal injury claim.
