Understanding Herniated Disc Injuries

A herniated disc occurs when the soft interior of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, potentially pressing on nerves.

  • Severe back or neck pain
  • Pain radiating to arms or legs
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty walking
  • Loss of bladder/bowel control (emergency)

Treatment and Compensation

Herniated disc treatment ranges from conservative care to surgery. Cases requiring surgery typically result in higher compensation.

  • Physical therapy
  • Epidural injections
  • Discectomy surgery
  • Spinal fusion
  • Artificial disc replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a herniated disc case worth?

Herniated disc cases can be worth significant compensation, especially if surgery is required. Exact values depend on treatment, pain level, and life impact.

What if I had a pre-existing disc condition?

You can still recover compensation if the accident aggravated your condition. This is called the "eggshell plaintiff" rule.
