5 Types of Fractured Vertebrae in Iowa Workers' Comp Claim
A sudden accident at work can lead to a serious back injury, such as fractured vertebrae, and leave you incapacitated with a lengthy treatment plan. You'll need to file an Iowa Workers' Comp claim with a Waterloo work injury lawyer to ensure you get the benefits you'll need.
5 Types of Fractured Vertebrae Injuries for Iowa Workers' Comp Claim
Back injuries can occur in numerous situations at work, perhaps because of a slip or fall, or from a high-impact accident while on the job.
- Flexion Fractures - the vertebrae are separated from each other, usually occurring when the torso is suddenly jolted forward in an accident.
- Compression Fracture - the front of the vertebra ruptures while the rear vertebra stays intact. While no serious neurological problems occur with this type of fracture, it can leave you in pain and reduce your mobility.
- Axial Burst Fracture - usually occurs when an employee falls from a significant height and lands on his or her feet, which results in a break in which the vertebra loses height in the front and back sides.
- Back Fracture/Dislocation - can cause serious spinal cord compression and occurs when the vertebra is displaced.
- Transverse Process Fracture - a severe sideways rotation, usually from a workplace accident in which the body underwent a forceful rotating movement.
It's important to seek the best medical care possible to become stabilized and begin a treatment plan that's tailored to your injuries. When you're able, seek a Waterloo work injury lawyer to discuss the process of filing an Iowa Workers' Comp claim to begin receiving the benefits you need.
