If you believe you may have a herniated disc injury, it is crucial to seek legal help.

Our team is dedicated to supporting you through the recovery process.
Las hernias discales constituyen una afección médica grave en la que los discos vertebrales se lesionan y sobresalen de la columna vertebral, provocando un pinzamiento nervioso. Se utilizan varios términos para describir las hernias discales, como pinzamiento nervioso, protrusión discal, ciática y hernia discal.
Because most herniated discs are the result of an accident or other injury, a Northern California herniated disc lawyer from our firm may be able to recover monetary damages on the victim’s behalf. If you were injured while working, you may also have a workers’ compensation claim in addition to a third-party personal injury claim, depending on how your herniated disc occurred. We invite you to call or email us for a free consultation. Before speaking with insurance adjusters or signing any documents related to your injury, it is important to understand your legal rights, as statements or releases can be used to reduce or deny your compensation.
A herniated disc causes pains throughout the body, often described as shooting pains up and down the legs or through the torso. Herniated disc injuries can worsen over time and may require ongoing medical care, injections, physical therapy, or surgery, which is why documenting the full extent of your condition is critical to protecting your claim. Because a herniated disc is often difficult to detect it is important to undergo a thorough medical examination after an accident or injury. You should also document how the accident occurred, preserve medical records, keep copies of diagnostic imaging, and note any witnesses, as this evidence can be critical to proving liability and damages.
Pain from a herniated disc may not be apparent; injury victims should monitor their bodies for any developments and should not hesitate to see a doctor numerous times. Even if symptoms appeared days or weeks after your accident, you may still be eligible to pursue a claim if medical evidence links your herniated disc to the original incident. Insurance companies often argue that delayed or inconsistent treatment means your injury is not serious, so seeking prompt and continuous medical care can directly affect the value of your claim.
Because an external cause likely resulted in your herniated disc, you may be legally entitled to claim monetary damages for that injury. If your herniated disc was caused by a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, workplace incident, construction accident, slip and fall, or other negligent act, you may qualify to pursue a personal injury claim for compensation under California law.
Our office has successfully won claims that have paid for medical bills, insurance costs, therapy, mental distress, loss of wages, and pain and suffering. Compensation in a herniated disc case may include economic damages such as medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life. Our San Francisco and Northern California herniated disc attorneys will not settle for anything less than the maximum damages owed to our clients.
