Herniated Discs
Charleston, WV Herniated Discs Attorney
Overview
Herniated discs are a common injury when an individual has been in a high-impact vehicle accident, a fall, or another back or spinal injury. The spinal discs are designed to cushion the vertebrae in the spine, but in an accident that causes a herniated disc, the victim can experience tremendous, chronic, and debilitating pain. A herniated disc can be very disabling, and if the injury was due to the negligence of another person, you can pursue compensation for the damages incurred. The first step in recovering these damages is to contact a Charleston, WV herniated discs attorney.

CAUSES OF HERNIATED DISCS
Any number of accidents can cause a herniated or bulging disc. Some of the most common causes of a herniated disc include:
- Car and truck accidents
- Falls from elevated heights
- Lifting heavy objects without back support
- Occupational exposure to continuous vibration
- Long periods of sitting
- Repeated movements that strain the back
Regardless of the cause of the herniated disc, one of the most important things that the victim should do is seek proper medical care. If left untreated, a herniated disc is not only extremely painful and disabling, but it can also lead to permanent, more severe problems.

PURSUING A HERNIATED DISC INJURY CLAIM
After an accident or injury, it is crucial to seek medical attention before anything else. Of course, your health and safety come first, but it is also important to remember that, in a herniated disc injury claim, you need documentation showing the relationship between the responsible party(s), the accident, and the extent of the injury. The other party’s insurance company will often argue that the accident was unrelated to the herniated disc.
If the opposing party or his/her insurance company is not compensating you for your injuries or is offering a low settlement that doesn’t cover expenses or compensate fairly and reasonably, we at the Love Law Firm will diligently and aggressively pursue the claim and fight for justice either in the courtroom or at the negotiating table.
