ACC Back Injury Claims: Expert Help for Spinal Injuries, Slipped Discs & Chronic Pain

If you’ve suffered a back injury, you may be entitled to ACC cover for treatment, lost wages, and lump sum payments – but 43% of back injury claims face rejection without expert help.

Types of Back Injuries ACC Covers

We successfully claim for:

✔ Spinal injuries (herniated discs, fractures, nerve damage)
✔ Soft tissue damage (muscle strains, ligament tears)
✔ Degenerative conditions (aggravated by accidents/work)
✔ Chronic pain syndromes (when linked to an injury)
✔ Surgical complications (failed back surgeries, post-op issues)

*"ACC refused my herniated disc claim until ACC Advocates proved it was work-related. They secured $15,000 for my surgery."* – [Client Name], Wellington

Why ACC Denies Back Injury Claims (And How We Fix It)

Top refusal reasons we overturn:
✖ "No clear accident" – We gather medical evidence to prove causation
✖ "Pre-existing condition" – We distinguish new injuries from old ones
✖ "Insufficient proof" – We collaborate with specialists to document damage
✖ "Not work-related" – We build strong occupational cases
