Lawyers for Victims of Serious Back and Neck Injuries
A slipped, herniated, bulging or ruptured disc is a serious injury that can result in chronic back or neck pain and may require expensive rehabilitation or even corrective surgery. This could include procedures spinal fusion, or discectomy.
Unfortunately, many times insurance companies try to get a person to settle quickly based on "soft tissue" injuries, when that person's problems are instead due to a disc problem which can become much worse over time leaving that person unable to work or disabled. A quick settlement under these circumstances can be disastrous. You should consult a lawyer to prevent this from happening to you. These injuries may be incurred from such accidents as:
- An auto collision
- An 18-wheeler accident
- A work-related accident such as a fall
If you are suffering burning, tingling or radiating pain in your arms and legs, sciatica or severe back or neck pain after an accident caused a herniated disc or another soft tissue injury such as whiplash, you may need the help of an experienced injury attorney to obtain the coverage and compensation you need.
