The back, or spine, is typically vulnerable to injury due to the amount of stress that is often brought to bear on this flexible area of the body. Generally, a back injury will be the immediate, or cumulative, result of lifting, carrying, handling, holding, or lowering of objects of various weights and sizes. According to information provided by the American Bureau of Labor Statistics, over one million individuals will suffer from a back inury each year in the United States alone. Additionally, one fifth of all workplace injuries deal with a back injury (one fourth of all workmen’s compensation claims are related to a back injury). Of course, not every back condition is occupationally related. A back injury may be the result of non-vocational physical activity. In other cases, a back injury may occur as the result of a disease process such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or trauma to a disc or vertebrae. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a back injury?
