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.
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. Often, they cause numbness, tingling, aching, and/or sharp pains in portions of the leg and buttocks that interfere with daily activity.
Due to the potential damage that a herniated disk can cause, the pain that it causes, and a few other factors, herniated disk injury claims can be worth a fairly large amount of money in a personal injury case. To determine how much your injury claim would be worth, you must factor in the cost of treatment or surgery, the visits to your doctor, any disability or scarring that you were left with afterward, the future cost of physical therapy or follow-up treatments, the type of accident, extent of injuries, the lost wages for the time that you were out of work due to the injury, and possibly more. The valuation is different for everyone, depending on their situation.
When looking at previous herniated disk settlements in Illinois, the national average in the recent past is about $360,000 while the median jury verdict is about $80,000. This shows the severity of these injuries and the amount of money that its treatment can cost. After you are in an accident resulting in a herniated disk, contact one of our attorneys so that we can help you recover these costs. We know that the settlement amount cannot totally solve everything, but it is meant to relieve you of some of the financial burdens that were sprung on you due to another’s actions.
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.
