Back Injury Claims - Spine Injuries - Herniated Discs

Accidents as a result of someone's negligence are called personal injuries. The harms to the body and mind are to be paid for by the person who caused these injuries. The cost to fix you, help you get the money you lost because you could not work and money to make it right are called "Damages". Personal injury attorneys have a great deal of knowledge about what is "reasonable" and what a "reasonable person would have done in the same or similar circumstances". We all know that when you come to a stop sign you must stop. When a defense attorney looks at the same facts they can argue that it was reasonable not to stop and look based on the same facts. Contacting a personal injury attorney as soon as possible is very important before your talk with anyone who works for an insurance company.

Insurance companies like to use the expression of "MIST" - minimal impact soft tissue as frequently as they can. They use the property damage to determine bodily injury. They deny common sense such as no medical doctor ever asks for pictures of the car damage to determine a diagnosis. Insurance companies use this reason to pay you insulting amounts of money.

A collision with relatively minor motor  vehicle accidents , especially those involving rear-end collisions at low speeds, can cause deceptively severe back and neck problems. Serious pain and range of motion loss might not appear as symptoms until weeks after the accident. The rule is if you are hurt you go to a doctor, if you don't your not injured. Again, insurance companies making up reasons not to pay you what the law requires them to pay.

The physiology of soft tissue injuries is well known. Just like when you cut your finger it bleeds and forms a scab as it heals. The same with your neck and back when thrown violently backwards and then forwards, there are micro tears in the ligaments, tendons and muscles. They bleed and collagen forms to stop the bleeding. The injuries heal in a "guarded" position causing pain and a loss of movement. We can help you get the information and medical or chiropractic treatment you need to promote your physical recovery while we're working on the presentation of your claim for money damages. 

The threat of permanent disability or paralysis arises whenever accident trauma results in damage to the vertebrae and the spinal cord. Spine injuries must be treated immediately and properly in order to minimize the loss of neurological function caused by damage to the central nervous system. Bone splinters from fractured or crushed vertebrae can aggravate damage to the spinal cord itself with the consequence of paraplegia or quadriplegia; the higher on the spine the injury, the more extensive the paralysis is likely to be. 

Severe back injuries or catastrophic spinal cord damage can result from any of the following causes: 
  • Car accidents
