Can herniated disc be caused by car accident?

A herniated disc is a common back injury that happens when the nucleus found in the vertebrae is pushed out, putting pressure on the spinal nerve, and causing pain. The pain may then manifests on the back and neck and may radiate to the shoulder, arms, hip, thighs, buttocks, and legs. While disc herniation typically occurs from disk degeneration or wear and tear from age, it may also be due to trauma.

A car accident, while impossible to link 100% to your injury, may be identified as the primary culprit for a herniated disc injury using a combination of objective testing and medical evidence. With this, you may use a medical expert’s determination to help strengthen your case. Even if you have a pre-existing back problem and the accident has worsened your injury, you may still file a lawsuit for aggravation of a pre-existing condition.

If your herniated disc is caused by a car accident, we can help you ease the financial burden of treatment and recovery. Back injuries may greatly impair your quality of life and having the financial capacity to cover your medical expenses and even lost earnings may ease the burden of the injury.
