The amount of money you may receive as a settlement or award in a “herniated disc” spine injury case will depend on many things, including how severe your injury is, whether the injury reduces your ability to work and earn a living, and whether you need surgery. The final value of your case may range from a few thousand dollars up to the total value of the insurance policy of the person at fault, or, if he has no insurance, your own uninsured motorist policy coverage.

We recovered at the top end for one of our clients, a heating and air conditioning mechanic whose truck was hit by a tractor-trailer. Our client had a neck and back injury that required multiple spine injections and then three major surgeries. After all this, he had enormous medical bills, had already been disabled from working for two years, and had a serious, permanent low back disability.

Because there is only one chance at settlement or an award for ALL injuries resulting from an accident, we sought and obtained for our client money to compensate him for the earnings he would likely lose in the future due to his disability. Because he would never again be able to work a full day, from his injury at age 35 until he retired at 65 to 70, he would likely lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings over the years.

Because you only get one chance at a settlement or award per accident, we evaluate ALL of your medical records carefully, tracking each bill and treatment as it comes in, and look at ALL your losses and potential future losses, so that we can maximize your case results for you in a settlement or a jury award.
