Degenerative Disc Disease and Accidents

DDD is wear and tear on spinal discs that many adults have without symptoms. Accidents can make asymptomatic DDD suddenly painful or worsen existing symptoms.

  • DDD often exists without symptoms
  • Accidents can trigger DDD symptoms
  • Trauma accelerates degeneration
  • Asymptomatic can become symptomatic

Fighting the DDD Defense

We use before and after medical records, expert testimony, and biomechanical analysis to prove your accident caused your symptoms, not just "old age."

DDD Aggravation Settlements

When accidents aggravate DDD, you're entitled to compensation for the worsening. These cases can be worth significant amounts.
