Is a herniated disk considered a serious injury?


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.

A herniated disk is a serious injury for a few reasons. If it is left untreated, then it can cause permanent nerve damage. This is because the portion of the disk that is protruding may be putting pressure on surrounding nerves. When this pressure cuts off nerve impulses to certain areas, it could also even lead to loss of bowel or bladder control. Also, sexual dysfunction may be a possibility, as well.

Signs that could mean that a complication or more serious damage may be arising include weight loss, severe pain at night, increased pain or weakness, numbness in the legs or feet, and the loss of bowel or bladder control mentioned above. If you experience any of these, you should see your doctor as soon as you can.

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.
