Why MRI Matters for Back Injury Claims

X-rays only show bones. An MRI reveals disc herniations, bulging discs, ligament damage, and other soft tissue injuries that are common in car accidents.

  • Shows disc damage invisible on X-rays
  • Documents nerve compression
  • Provides objective evidence
  • Essential for serious injury claims

When to Get an MRI

If back pain persists more than a few days after an accident, request an MRI. Don't let insurance companies talk you out of diagnostic imaging.

How We Use MRI Evidence

We work with radiologists who can explain MRI findings clearly and connect them to your accident and symptoms.
