What Causes Back Injuries in Los Angeles?
The causes of back injuries are far-reaching, from car crashes to slip and fall incidents. However, one factor remains true no matter the cause: back injuries can be severe and life-altering.
Some of the most common causes of back injuries in Anaheim, San Bernardino, Bakersfield and beyond, include:
- Construction accidents
- Workplace repetitive motion injuries
- Slip, trip and fall accidents
- Motorcycle accidents

Legal Options After a Workplace Back Injury in California
Workplace accidents often lead to serious back injuries due to heavy lifting or hazardous working conditions, which may be present at certain job sites. Employers have an obligation under California law to provide a safe working environment free from hazards and potential sources of harm for employees – failure to do so could result in significant claims for damages against them should an accident occur involving a worker’s back injury.

Winning for a client means we’ve done such a good job presenting the case that we don’t have to go to trial — and we got the full value of the number. Each case is different. Each one is individualized. If you’re unable to attend your daughter’s wedding, that’s going to carry greater weight than if you had to sit home on a Saturday night.
