Baton Rouge Herniated Disc Attorneys
You may already have a diagnosis from your doctor that you have a "herniated disc." A long list of similar injuries and diagnoses includes ruptured disc, herniated disc, collapsed disc, bulging disc, disc protrusion, disc degeneration, disc tear/torn disc, slipped disc, and disc disease.
One thing is sure: it is painful and debilitating. The next step is to decide what to do about it. Take care of yourself, including seeing a doctor and perhaps getting a second opinion. If another person or company is at fault for the injury that caused your herniated/ruptured disc injury, talk to a lawyer at Modica & Dowden, Attorneys at Law, about the incident.
Discs are part of the spinal column, within which runs the spinal cord. This bundle of nerves is critical to the functioning of all organs and muscles. Car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, work-related accidents, repetitive, strenuous action, and improper lifting are common causes of disc injuries. Pain, weakness, tingling, and numbness are common symptoms.
Your medical care will cost money, and if you have been out of work, you should be compensated for that by any party at fault, causing your injury.
