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.
It is very important that you treat a herniated disk as soon as you feel the symptoms after an accident since it is a very serious injury. The symptoms for herniated disks include pain in your arms or legs, pain that worsens as you move or reposition, as well as feelings of weakness, numbness, or tingling in and/or around the affected area. If you feel any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor as soon as you can to treat them.
An untreated herniated disk can lead to permanent nerve damage due to the pressure that the portion of the protruding disk has on the nerves around the area. Also, you could lose sensation in parts of your legs and buttocks due to the pressure on these nerves in a condition called saddle anesthesia. Given the type of injury that a herniated disk is, it will typically worsen with time. That is why it is important to see a doctor as soon as you detect symptoms so that you can get the appropriate treatment for your injury and resolve the issue sooner rather than later.
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.

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.
