If you or a loved one has sustained a herniated disk injury from an accident, contact America’s Consumer Lawyer for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.
In our bodies, we have flat, round intervertebral disks made of tough cartilage on the outside and soft cartilage on the inside. They are meant to act as cushions between your bones and as a shock absorber, as well. A herniated disk is the result of a high-energy impact that injures the spine, such as a fall or a motor vehicle collision. This causes one or more of the disks to crack on the outside, tough cartilage part and allow the softer inner cartilage to protrude out of the disk’s perimeter.
A herniated disk can cause a severe amount of pain, or it could be minor and consist of mild and occasional pain. They usually are located in the lower back, so most pain is located in the legs and buttocks. Herniated disks can cause pain due to the fact that they are pressing on a nerve and any movement increases this pressure. It can be very frustrating and painful to proceed with your day to day activities as these pains are typically described as very sharp. They may also cause a tingling sensation due to the pressure on the nerve(s).
However, you can ease this pain with over-the-counter medications, muscle relaxers, or cortisone injections in the affected area. These usually help in cases of conservative treatment. Otherwise, surgery or a more aggressive treatment option will be utilized to ease the pain and resolve this issue.
If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages. Medical care for a herniated disk is not cheap, and it certainly is not cheap when it involves surgery or potential complications that you may have had to deal with. With our help, we can help you recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages that resulted from another person’s actions.
Helping our clients is about counseling, advocating, and ultimately solving problems. With years of experience successfully representing the people, not the powerful, we will take care of the insurance adjusters, your medical bills, your property damage, and your lost wages, and monitor your treatment so you can focus on healing and getting your life back to normal. Our unique formula has earned us over 1,000 outstanding client reviews on our website, an A+ BBB rating, and over 135 five-star reviews on Google.
