Denver Back Injury Accident Attorneys
A back injury can be a debilitating and chronic problem, affecting your quality of life for years. Imagine not being able to do the simplest things – pick up your grandchild, a bag of groceries or enjoy the many outdoor activities we love here in Colorado.
The Denver back injury law firm of Rosenthal & Heymann aggressively represent clients who have suffered a severe back injury as the result of an accident, including car, motorcycle and pedestrian crashes, work-related injuries and serious fall accidents. We fight for your rights to obtain fair compensation for your injuries, and restitution for loss of current and future earnings should you be unable to return to work.
Back injuries can take many forms, including a herniated or ruptured disc, spinal cord injury, nerve damage and compression fractures. Spinal cord disc injuries can be caused by a traumatic car crash, and can have long-term medical consequences. In some cases, the emergence of a severe back injury is not immediately felt by an accident victim, and may take weeks or months before the injury becomes apparent. Some accident victims require steroid injections, extensive physical rehabilitation therapy and even back surgery to attempt to alleviate the pain.

The extent of a back injury caused by an auto accident can also involve other, long-term medical conditions. These include osteoarthritis, a degenerative arthritis that occurs in the discs and tissues of your spine and can cause severe pain, numbness and may even prevent you from doing the simplest of things, like walking or sitting down. This is a progressive ailment, and if not treated early and correctly, it can lead to additional medical complications.
The Denver injury lawyers at Rosenthal & Heymann aggressively assist clients who have suffered a back injury as the result of an accident, by working closely with medical professionals who are able to accurately and quickly identify the extent and cause of serious back injuries. These types of injuries require immediate diagnosis by qualified medical experts in order to best prepare to aggressively fight for the justice and financial compensation you deserve.
In addition to motor vehicle accidents, some occupations are notorious for causing back injuries. Certain jobs, including construction work, warehouse jobs, nursing and factory work can all include strenuous and repetitive activity that can lead to a serious back injury. Long distance truckers, police officers and others who drive long distances or spent long hours in vehicles, are also frequently victims of serious back injuries.
If a back injury due to a car crash or occupational accident has victimized you or a loved one, we urge you to seek competent legal counsel at once. The Denver injury attorneys at Rosenthal & Heymann can help you plan your fight for the financial well-being of you and your family, and will stand by your side in the fight for the compensation you deserve.
