Back Injuries

You should not wait to call a lawyer if you have been injured on the job. Maybe you have started having mild back pain, feel embarrassed about it, and say nothing. That could be the worst thing that you could do. At the Injured Workers' Law Firm, we advise you to contact us the day you are injured.

Usually people call us too late. For example, say that thirty days after the injury you are really in pain and have a herniated disk. You go tell your employer about the incident. By now, it is too late to file a claim. After an injury, you have only thirty days to notify your employer and must file a claim with the Workers' Compensation Commission within two years. Let the Injured Workers' Law Firm help you pursue the lost wages and other benefits to which you are entitled.

Describing your back pain may affect your claim

You may think that it is just a minor injury and therefore do not report it properly to your employer's insurance adjustor. You have the burden to prove that you were injured on the job. Your employer does not have to help you file a claim. We can help you with injuries involving:

  • Bulging disk
  • Cervical neck pain
  • Lifting accident
  • Herniated disk
  • Muscle sprain
  • Lower back injury
  • Automobile wreck

Workers' compensation provides benefits for an immediate sudden accident. Have you felt a pull or sharp pain when you were lifting something at work? If you say you have a herniated neck disc after lifting 10 boxes, you may lose your case. We can help ensure the adjustor does not lead you down the wrong path and deny your claim.

You should contact us just to be safe

Maybe you have never been hurt before. You may be on medication. Most injured workers are not sure how to file a proper claim.

Call us before you talk to your employer or their insurance company. We will tell you whether you have a case. By contacting us, you can prevent making a mistake or a damaging statement that may cause you to lose your case. We can advise you about your claim. Call or e-mail to set up a free initial consultation.
