Injuries That Can Put You Out of Work
Workers' Compensation Attorneys Vigorously Protecting Injured People

Benefits Are Available for Spinal Cord Injuries
Whether you slipped and fell on scaffolding or hurt your back while picking up a box of files, you should speak to an experienced attorney to help you through the workers' compensation process. You don't have to have an accident victim to collect workers' compensation benefits for spinal cord injuries.
If a worker can identify when they felt pain and what they were doing at the time, they may establish a valid claim. Often insurance companies deny a neck or back claim on the basis that it was not an injury by accident, that it was pre-existing or a degenerative condition. If this happens, you will need legal help.
Some of the common types of neck and back injuries that can lead to a workers' compensation claim include:
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Ruptured discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Slipped discs
- Spinal fractures
- Strained ligaments
- Muscle strain
- Aggravation of pre-existing conditions
Whether Your Employer Admits or Denies Your Claim, You Need Help
There are time limitations controlling when you must notify your employer about your injuries. While missing a deadline may not prevent you from recovering benefits, it may make it a lot more challenging.
