Neck, Spine and Disc Injuries
Back Injury and Disc Injury Claims in Georgia
Injury to a disc in the back or neck can result from sudden trauma, as in a motor vehicle accident or a fall at a construction site, or from chronic degeneration after years of heavy lifting in a warehouse or industrial plant. If you need legal advice about your right to compensation for a severe disc injury, contact an experienced lawyer at the Delius Law Firm in Atlanta. Our familiarity with both personal injury litigation in court and workers' compensation procedures for workplace injuries can help you recover the financial resources that you'll need to get you through back surgery and an extended period of convalescence.
Why hire the Delius Law Firm?
We can help you prove your claim for damages or benefits for crushed, herniated or bulging discs that result from the following causes:
- Car wrecks
- Truck accidents
- Warehouse or loading dock work
- Overexertion in a hospital or nursing home while moving patients
- Accidents at construction sites
- Any workplace injury
- Any injury suffered due to the negligence of others
If your back or neck injury resulted from chronic strain or a sudden twist at work, you will probably need to file a workers' compensation claim to recover lost wages and medical expenses while you undergo back surgery and physical therapy. We can help you overcome your employer's resistance to your claim or denial that your disc injury occurred at work. We can also help you fight the possibility that your benefits will be terminated before you are ready to return to work.
Head-on and rear-end motor vehicle accidents can cause severe whiplash along any part or the whole of the spinal column, which in some cases will cause one or more intervertebral discs to slip, bulge, or extrude. The pressure that displaced or crushed disc tissue places on nerve branches originating in the spinal cord can result in severe or continuous pain. In a personal injury lawsuit or workers' comp claim, we will do everything possible to ensure that your treatment expenses and economic losses are fully covered. We will also present your claim for pain and suffering damages in terms that the insurer, the jury, or the State Board of Workers' Compensation will be sure to understand.
