Herniated Disc Injury Lawyer

A herniated disc is one that extends into the spinal canal, causing pain. Also called a bulging disc, slipped disc, or ruptured disc, a herniated disc can occur naturally as part of the aging process or by an injury.

If your herniated disc was caused or aggravated by an injury that was due to someone else's negligence, such as a workplace accident or car accident, we can help. Please contact the neck and back injury lawyers of Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz P.C. for a free initial consultation and case evaluation.

Our neck injury attorneys understand how herniated discs may not become apparent for months after an accident. We advise our clients to wait until the full extent of their injuries become clear before accepting a settlement from the insurance company so they will receive the full measure of financial compensation they deserve.

In our work obtaining financial compensation for injury victims, we deal with complex medical issues every day. We are experienced in helping judges, juries, and others understand what a herniated disc is and how it affects your life.

The classic sign of a herniated disc is pain that radiate down the leg to the foot or down the arm to the hand and fingers.

A disc both connects the vertebrae of the spinal column and provides cushioning. The disc includes a tough, fibrous exterior and a gel-like interior. When a disc herniates, or ruptures, the gel-like interior substance extrudes through the outer layer and puts pressure on the spinal cord or surrounding nerves.

If you were involved in an accident, and your injuries aren't healing despite treatment, please contact a personal injury attorney at our firm today to discuss your case. Don't put your physical and financial well-being at risk. Talk to an experienced attorney who knows how to help.
