Helping Clients Seek Compensation for Disk Herniation Injuries
A herniated disk, often referred to as a bulging or slipped disk, is an injury to one of the invertebral disks surrounding the spine. While many herniated disks heal themselves relatively quickly, some require intensive medical treatment and may have permanent consequences.
If you have back pain after an accident, it is important to investigate whether disk herniation has occurred. At the law firm of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards, L.L.C., our Lafayette herniated disk lawyers help clients pursue compensation for these serious injuries.
Making Sure Your Injuries are Carefully Treated and Documented
Herniated disks can occur in the cervical spine (neck and upper back) and lumbar spine (lower back) regions. They are particularly common in motor vehicle accidents and other traumatic accidents in which the back is struck with a heavy object or rapidly shaken back and forth.
If you think you may have a herniated disk, it is important to see a doctor right away so you can get the medical treatment you need to hopefully avoid long-term symptoms.
While herniated disks can often be successfully treated through work restrictions, medication and back support devices, they may persist, causing pain and paralysis by applying constant pressure on the surrounding nerves and the spinal cord. In some cases, surgery is necessary.
Our attorneys have the experience and resources to document the full personal and financial consequences of your disk herniation so we can pursue full compensation for your injuries.
