The most common medical claim and complication from accidents are back and neck injuries.  These are also the injuries most likely to be contested in court and denied payments or settlement by an insurance carrier. 

Most of these denials are based on the idea that the victim is either falsifying the extent of the injury in order to get more money or doesn't think he or she can afford a lawyer and would settle for less money. 

In either case, an experienced attorney in back injuries can help. 

Most of the claim and court proceedings will focus on the existence of and extent of the injuries sustained by the victim.  The insurance company's lawyers will bring experts to testify about how easily faked back injuries are and how often they're over-exaggerated when they do exist.  A good attorney for the victim will counter these claims with strong medical testimony to support the client.

Back and neck injuries are extremely common after an accident, but are often difficult to win compensation for.  A good attorney with experience in personal injury law is paramount to winning these cases.  What's more, most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis: they don't get any payment unless you do and they often take payment as a flat fee or a percentage of the winnings.

If your personal case involves back injury or neck injuries as complications of an accident, talk to a good lawyer today about your rights and what you should do to get compensation.
