- Selection of effective orthopedic/neurological treating physicians
- Essential procedures including EKGs, MRIs, ESIs
Spinal Cord And Nerve Injury Representation
Neck and back injuries are all related to the nervous system and often have to do with the irritation of various nerve roots. These types of injuries affect the spinal cord and the tendons, but diagnosing damage to the spinal cord, nerves and tendons is not always straightforward. These injuries cannot always be objectively viewed on MRIs and X-rays. Making matters worse, insurance carriers love to label many orthopedic injuries and back tendon injuries as “soft tissue” or “subjective” in their effort to denigrate your claim and limit their payment of reasonable, fair damages.
Leveling The Playing Field To Get The Compensation You Need
It is our goal to level the playing field between our injured workers and their families and the insurance carriers by obtaining complete documentation of your diagnostics, medical care and physical therapy. Many times new injuries are superimposed on pre-existing degenerative conditions. It is important to seek the counsel of an experienced lawyer who can present these injuries properly in workers’ compensation and Northern California’s Leading Workers’ Compensation Law Firm for over 40 years cases. For example, if an individual suffers from degenerative arthritis that is worsened by a new injury, this has to be properly identified and presented to the insurance carrier so that the individual receives appropriate medical care as well as the maximum compensation.
