Slidell Back Injury Attorney
Neck and back injuries can range from muscle and ligament strains that may heal in time to more serious injuries such as bulging or herniated discs that can lead to chronic pain and disability. If you have suffered a neck or back injury in an accident, it's important not to settle your case until you know how the injury will affect you in the future.
At The Law Offices of David Adrian Oriol, LLC in Madisonville, Louisiana, we help people in St. Tammany Parish and surrounding areas on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain who have suffered neck and back injuries in car, truck and motorcycle accidents. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Diagnosing and Treating Back and Neck Injuries
Recovering your health after a neck or back injury can be an uphill struggle. Injuries involving the spinal cord are difficult to diagnose and treat. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, most insurance companies will offer little compensation.
To make sure that your injury heals as fully as possible, it's important to see the right medical specialist who can determine the scope of your injury. Most general practice doctors cannot treat back injuries. A chiropractor may provide temporary relief of pain, but cannot treat underlying conditions such as disc or nerve damage. To diagnose and treat your condition, you will need to see a neurologist or spinal orthopedic surgeon.
It's important not to settle your personal injury case until you have reached what is known as maximum medical improvement. Only then will you know how much compensation you will need for ongoing treatment, pain and suffering, and disability.
If your injury heals, that is the best outcome, even though your case will be worth less money. No amount of money can compensate you for living with pain.
No fees unless we win your case. We represent neck and back injury victims on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will not owe any legal fees unless you obtain compensation.
