Some back injuries can lead to paralysis (in which case see "paralysis" for details), but otherwise back injury is classified as "severe" (£25,500 - £111,000) , "moderate" (£8,250 - £25,500) or "minor" (up to £8,250) for sprains and soft tissue injuries where a "full recovery, or recovery to 'nuisance' level has been made without surgery."
