a common symptom after being in a car accident. While a severe spinal cord injury will usually have immediate
effects and require emergency medical care, other back injuries are less obvious, but are still serious. If you’re
experiencing lower back pain after being in a car accident, seek medical attention right away so the injury doesn’t
worsen. After you’ve started medical treatment, call a Burger Law St. Louis car accident lawyer at (314) 500-HURT or fill out
our online form for a free consultation to see if you can recover financial
compensation for your back injuries that someone else caused.

the lower back after a car accident:

There are two things you need to do if you’re experiencing lower back pain after an auto accident: First, get medical

claim. We have over 70 years of combined experience helping people in St. Louis and throughout Missouri get
