Some lumbar conditions, such as osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease, may occur as the result of normal “wear and tear” and aging processes.  Other conditions, however, may result from acute trauma due to incidents such as motor vehicle collisions, workplace injuries (including repetitive stress injuries), and sporting activities.  In addition to causing acute trauma such as spinal fractures and ruptured discs, these incidents can also “trigger” long-standing degenerative processes that have not yet produced obvious symptoms or “aggravate” pre-existing conditions by making them more severely symptomatic.

If you or a family member has suffered a spinal injury as a result of such an incident, or had a pre-existing problem triggered or exacerbated, it is crucial to protect your legal rights with respect to those who caused the injury.  There are often strict time deadlines to act in order to protect those rights, and a law firm whose practice specializes in handling these types of injury cases is in the best position to advise you as to how to protect those rights.

When selecting a law firm to consult with, it is important to choose one that has a long track record of success in handling cases involving your type of situation.  Our law firm has been handling cases for seriously injured persons — especially those with spinal injuries — for 30 years.  We have successfully resolved spinal injury cases at all stages from claims, to mediation and arbitration, to trial.  We have the resources and experience to successfully manage these types of cases, an initial consultation is entirely free of charge, and cases are taken only on a “contingent fee” basis.  We would be happy to speak with you today.  Please see our Contact page or click on “Send a Question or Comment” at the top right of this page to reach us.
