When a Serious Georgia Accident Results in a Herniated Disc (Part A)

Back injuries are common in a Georgia accident and a herniated disc is one of the most commonly seen injuries in a Georgia personal injury claim. If you have suffered a herniated disc and require medical treatment or suffered losses for time out from work you should speak with a Fulton County personal injury attorney to seek compensation.

A Georgia Accident Resulting in a Herniated Disc

There are many types of common personal injury accidents that can result in a herniated disc. When you are the victim of a Georgia accident you'll need to provide evidence that it was another party's fault and not your own that you suffered the injury.

Some of the common types of Georgia accidents that can result in a herniated disc include:

car accidents;
slip and fall (premises liability) accidents;
construction site accidents; and
workplace impact injuries.

Basically any Georgia accident that causes impact trauma to your spine can cause a herniated disc. When your Georgia accident was caused by the negligence of another you may be able to file a Georgia personal injury claim with the help of a Fulton County personal injury attorney.

Signs of a Herniated Disc after a Georgia Accident

Chronic pain is usually one of the telltale signs that something's amiss after a Georgia accident. Because the discs between your vertebrae are soft tissue, a herniated disc will be best identified with image scans such as an MRI or a CT scan. If you have difficulty bending or stretching your back or neck or experience numbness, tingling, or paralysis in your extremities these can also be signs.

Your Fulton County personal injury attorney will advise you to see a doctor for a diagnosis of your symptoms. Without medical evidence of your injuries and a treatment plan you will not have evidence to support the settlement you seek through a Georgia personal injury claim.
