What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Well last Feb 08, i was doing squats with about 115# I was using free weights,not very heavy, but i popped/ripped a cord near my hip flexor...i sort of babied it but did not go to the doctor, until i was at the gym, threw my back out helping spot someone else. I was down for a whole week (not able to walk w/o a walker) then in physical therapy for at least a month. They said my back went out because i kept favoring the one side without the injured cord....never again! i would say i am almost back to 100% but i am very careful.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
I think improper form, lifting too heavy or if you already exhausted your muscles and you keep lifting.
