Dear Mr. Beckcom:

I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. My daughter will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.

Words cannot express the thanks and gratefulness that we have for Vuk and his company. His tireless efforts and aggressive style meant the world to us and he changed our lives forever. I will always be loyal and grateful to V&B for taking on my case and being committed from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend these guys with 100% assuredness that they will work hard for you and help you receive what you deserve.

I would like to thank Brian Beckcom and his staff for their professionalism and their support. . . I knew when I met Brian that he was more than qualified to handle my father's wrongful death case . . .if I needed his help again I wouldn't hesitate to call.

Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us. For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

Vuk, it has been such a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you did to help my family and I survive through the most difficult time of our lives.

Phuong N.
Houston, Texas
I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney. I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.

Steven R.
Deer Park, Texas
After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

Back Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

After the sounds of screeching tires and breaking glass stop, you may find yourself wondering what just happened. Car accidents can cause damage to more than just vehicles. Serious injuries can result from major crashes. Sometimes an injury may not surface immediately following an auto accident.

Back injuries are one of the most common injuries associated with car accidents. The impact of the two vehicles colliding can result in damage to the back. Back pain can range from dull to sharp, depending on the severity of the injury. Back injuries may include:

• Damage to the ligaments or muscles in the back, such as a sprain or strain
• Spine fracture
• Dislocation of the spine
• Torn or ruptured disc
• Nerve compression in the back (cauda equine syndrome)

Each one of these injuries can cause immense pain and may disrupt your daily activities, such as the ability to work.

Back Injuries That Require Immediate Medical Attention
There are some types of back injuries that should be treated immediately by emergency medical personnel. When back pain follows a car accident, medical treatment is necessary to determine that there wasn’t more serious damage done. Back pain can be associated with a spinal cord injury, which is why exams should be conducted immediately after an accident. Some of the signs of a spinal cord injury include the following:

• Loss of bowel or bladder control
• Leg weakness
• Numbness in part of the body
• Paralysis

Types of Back Injuries
Back injuries caused by car accidents be classified into two different groups – Spondylolysis and Cervical Radiculopathy. Spondylolysis refers to the slipping of vertebra that generally occurs at the base of the spine. This condition, which is a defect or fracture of one or both parts of a vertebra, can result in vertebrae slipping forward, backward or over a bone below.

Cervical Radiculopathy refers to the damage or disruption of nerve function that results in compression of the nerve roots near the cervical vertebrae. This type of injury can result in pain and a loss of sensation in upper extremities.

Your doctor will conduct various tests, such as x-rays, CT scans and MRI scans to help determine where the injury is located and the extent of damage. Once your doctor is able to diagnose your specific condition, treatment will be recommended. Treatment may include medication, rest, rehabilitation, physical therapy or surgery. Medical care for a back injury resulting from a car accident can be expensive. If your car crash was caused by another driver, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries, which will help cover your medical expenses and time away from work.
