Florida Accidents And Herniated Disc Injuries

Spine

Herniated disc injuries can be incredibly painful, and many find themselves suffering disc injuries as a result of car collisions. When the soft central area of the spinal disc moves through its exterior shell, it is referred to as a herniated disc and can lead to pain or numbness and weakness in a person’s limbs. Accident victims may find themselves having to take time off work to heal from spinal sprains and strains.

Not every situation requires intervention, sometimes rest and caution is all that is needed. But others find themselves facing surgeries, physical therapy appointments, and prescriptions. Finding financial relief is often part of recovering from an accident disc injury.

To understand what options you have for securing a large enough settlement to cover all of the high quality medical care you require, connect with a Florida personal injury attorney. Accidents in Clearwater, Hudson, and Tampa have led to medical fees, therapy expenses, and for lost pay compensation, because of the time off work required to heal.

Ongoing Pain and Weakness

Disc injuries can occur at any point in the spine, but the majority of herniated discs occur in the lower back, leading to ongoing pain and weakness, typically in the feet and legs. When a disc is injured higher in the spine, neck pain weakness and pain is possible. But each situation is unique and pain can appear at different points, nerve damage can result in limb numbness, too.

Having all of your accident injuries, including herniated discs, assessed and cared for by a healthcare professional is essential. Following a recommended treatment plan is your path to recovery. So, if you have to take time off work, do not ignore this request because you are worried about the loss of income. Instead, talk to a lawyer before hurting yourself further. Lost wages could be part of your settlement package.

Compensation for Spine, Neck, and Back Injuries

If you have been offered a settlement amount for your disc injury but believe it is far lower than the amount required, connect with a seasoned Florida personal injury lawyer.

Whether you have received a diagnosis of a herniated disc, slipped disc, or ruptured disc, you need time to heal and appropriately follow your treatment plan. Often financial support is needed to pay for medications and lost time at work. Because attorneys handle insurance negotiations every day, they can look over your documentation and determine if more is needed to prove your need for recovery or if a process of negotiation could resolve the dispute.
