Back And Neck Injuries

A workplace accident or repetitive stress injury can result in painful and debilitating back and neck injuries. Sometimes the injuries are so serious, they may need surgery in order to relieve pain and restore you to better health. Other injuries may require ongoing medical attention to help manage the pain and to keep the injury from worsening. If you have sustained a back or neck injury at work, you are entitled to have your medical care paid for by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy. In addition, a portion of your weekly wages will be paid by workers’ compensation until you are able to return to work. One of the biggest concerns with a back or neck injury is whether you will be able to return to work at the job you were doing before you were injured. Often times, the damage is permanent and it is impossible for you to consider returning to your old job. When this happens, it is important to have the best legal advice possible so that you are compensated for your disability resulting from the accident.

Legal Help For The Injured. Call 404-920-4708.

People with back or neck injuries often need an advocate on their side in order to obtain the workers’ compensation benefits they are entitled by law to receive. Workers’ compensation insurance companies will argue that the pain is just a soft tissue injury that will heal on its own with time. This often results in delayed medical treatment which only worsens the condition. Insurers will deny authorization for expensive tests and procedures to diagnose and relieve your back or neck pain in order to save the insurance company money. The insurer’s primary concern is not you or your health. The insurance company’s only wish is to limit the amount of money spent on your claim. We are here to help you win all of the benefits that are owed to you.
