Compensation for Work-Related Back Injuries
Back injuries are some of the most common work-related injuries. Back injuries can be extremely painful, chronic and disabling. In some cases, back injuries can require surgery to correct the problem.
If you suffered a work-related back injury, it is important to understand your rights. Please contact the Law Offices of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, P.C. Our workers' compensation lawyers will analyze your case and help you obtain the full amount of workers' compensation benefits you are entitled by law to receive.
Effective Representation for Work-Related Back Injuries
Call Toll-Free: 866-710-4116
We represent clients throughout Georgia who have suffered a wide range of work-related back injuries, including:
- Bulging discs (also called protruding, herniated, or ruptured discs)
- Chronic lower back pain
- Spinal cord injury
- Spinal degeneration
- Sciatica
- Fractured spine
Most back injuries can be treated without surgery. However, extensive medical treatment and physical therapy may be required. Back injuries can involve nerve damage when a bulging disc or vertebra presses on the spinal cord.
Trauma and Repetitive Stress
Work related back injuries can be caused by a traumatic event, such as a car accident. They can also result from repetitive motions, such as twisting or lifting.
We often see clients who had been receiving workers' compensation but the company-selected doctor sent them back to work before they were physically able to do so.
Our workers' compensation attorneys can arrange for you to receive a medical evaluation by a doctor of your own choosing — not one hand picked by your employer.
