Understanding Annular Tears

The annulus fibrosus is the tough outer ring of a spinal disc. When it tears, the disc becomes unstable and the inner material may leak out, causing inflammation and pain.

  • Risk of progression to herniation

Proving Annular Tear Injuries

Annular tears are visible on MRI when read by experienced radiologists. We work with specialists who can identify and document these injuries.

Annular Tear Settlement Values

Annular tear settlements depend on severity and treatment. Cases often settle for $50,000-$150,000, with higher values for surgical cases.
