If your herniated discs are the result of a car accident rather than aging or a degenerative disease, you are entitled to considerable compensation, including medical treatment, lost wages and even pain and suffering compensation. In order to make sure that you receive fair compensation, you should hire a personal injury attorney.
A herniated disc or disc protrusion is the result of pressure upon an intervertebral disc. The condition can be caused by an injury, aging or a degenerative disc disease. People with herniated disc suffer from debilitating pain in the back and hips. Treatment methods include physical therapy, pain medication, epidural injections or spine surgery.
The compensation a car accident victim can receive for a herniated disc is usually considerable. Besides medical bills and long-term medical care, the compensation is likely to incorporate significant pain and suffering compensation, as well as lost wages during recovery time or even compensation for lost earning ability. Victims who sustained such devastating injuries are advised to contact a personal injury attorney before signing an agreement with the insurance company.
