A herniated disk, sometimes called a slipped disk or a ruptured disk, can have a wide range of symptoms and varying degrees of pain. You may not have any noticeable symptoms at all or, conversely, you could experience severe, chronic pain. A herniated disk, however, can have serious consequences if left untreated and may require surgery.
If you have been in an accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. If you feel numbness, tingling or pain in your back, it could be a symptom of a herniated disk or other back injury.

Seeking Full Treatment and Assessing Damages
Herniated disks are only detectable through proper examination, tests and scans such as an MRI scan. This can reveal damage to a disk, which is the cushion between your vertebrae. Then a patient may need to have EMG tests and nerve conduction studies performed to identify any nerve damage as a result of the herniated disk. In some cases of herniated disks, surgery may be required to prevent paralysis and other injuries.
At our firm, we work with medical experts, vocational rehabilitation specialists and economists to assess the present and future costs of a herniated disk. We also have a nurse paralegal on staff to help us prepare your claim.
We prepare every case as though it were going to trial, thoroughly investigating your accident and fully assessing your economic losses as well as your pain and suffering. Our thorough preparation allows us to skillfully negotiate settlements and aggressively litigate your claim if your case should go to court.
