Experienced Back Injury and Workers' Compensation Attorneys
Back injuries can be caused by a sudden, onetime accident or can develop over time from excessive lifting and straining, repetitive motion and ergonomic issues involving computers, chairs and desks. Common back injuries include bulging/herniated discs, sprains, strains, degenerative arthritis, broken vertebrae, paralysis and spinal cord injuries. A serious back injury could also render a person a paraplegic or quadriplegic.
While some back injuries and back injury symptoms are easy to detect and can be tied to specific events, others, including those involving soft tissue and those involving repetitive motion, are more difficult to document and tie to work-related causes. The workers' compensation lawyers of our firm can handle your back injury issue at the beginning of your claim, or can step in if your employer is being uncooperative, or if your claim has been denied by an administrate law judge or appeals council.
If you, a loved one or a co-worker experienced an on-the-job back injury, including injuries resulting from heavy lifting, a fall, office equipment or fork lifts, contact us. Rest assured we will work hard to recover the benefits you deserve.
