When an Accident in Louisville Leads to a Herniated Disc (Part A)

If you were seriously injured in an accident in Louisville that was the result of someone else’s reckless actions, whether it was on a major interstate such as I-64 or at an intersection, you could be entitled to compensation. You should consult with a Louisville auto accident lawyer who will evaluate your case and determine if you have a valid claim.

Back injuries are common in an auto accident. While most times this type of injury isn’t serious, in some cases, it could be disabling. Herniated discs are one type of back injury that could lead to an individual being unable to work for weeks, months or even permanently.

Herniated Disc Injury Resulting from an Accident in Louisville

When a disc in the spine is damaged or torn, it is known as a herniated disc. The severity of the injury will depend on the degree of damage and the location. In some cases, it may heal with pain medication, rest and time. However, a more severe injury could lead to permanent disability.

If the disc puts pressure on a nerve root, it could become necessary to undergo further treatment such as steroid injections. In some cases, the disc may need to be replaced with an artificial one. While surgery can sometimes fix the problem, it isn't always effective.

Pain in the lower back is the most common symptom experienced. Even after surgery there may be ongoing back pain that can be debilitating and lead to an individual being unable to work. Whether you are temporarily or permanently disabled, you may wonder how you will pay expensive medical bills while you are out of work.

This is why you should contact a Louisville auto accident lawyer when you believe someone else’s negligence was the cause of your accident. You could receive compensation that covers your medical expenses, lost wages and more.
