Rehabilitation for Back Injuries
A serious back injury is rarely fully treated through just one visit to the hospital and painkiller medications. Oftentimes, surgery is needed to correct discs that have been herniated, damaged, or shifted out of place. Afterward, your medical provider may instruct you to undergo weeks, months, or even years of routine rehabilitative therapy designed to restore your mobility and lessen the chronic pain you feel each day.
Each session of therapy will come with a price tag. As the sessions continue week after week, the total cost for those rehabilitative therapies will accrue, possibly beyond what your insurance is willing to cover. If you are seeking compensation through a third-party lawsuit, then it is important that your damages are calculated to account for these future costs. Our attorneys are well-versed with high-stakes injury claims that require intensive damage calculations, so you can trust in us to manage your claim, too.
Personal Injury Claims for Back Injuries at Work
Personal injury refers to physical injuries and financial losses resulting from another party’s careless or intentional wrongdoing. This may apply in a work-related back injury that was caused by a third party – someone other than your employer or a co-worker.
If you have a back injury, in order to get compensation from a negligent party (and their insurance company), you must be able to prove three things:
- The extent of your damages
- How the injury happened
- How the other party is liable
The burden of proof is on you, and this is never an easy feat. This is the reason why most individuals contact a back injury lawyer to manage their case, whether it is their claim or court case. If you are considering a personal injury lawsuit, ask our experienced legal professionals.
