Our lawyers represent car accident victims throughout the country in herniated disc injury cases. We have settled or taken to trial hundreds of herniated disc car crash claims. We understand the science of these cases and the settlement amounts victims should receive in disc injury lawsuits.
Herniated disc injuries in car accidents are a common type of injury that can result from the impact of a collision. The spine is a complex structure that supports the body and allows for movement. It is composed of 33 individual vertebrae and numerous intervertebral discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae. When a car accident occurs, the force of the impact can cause damage to these discs, leading to a herniated disc injury. You will hear people use terms like “slipped disc” or “ruptured disc” is often used to describe this condition. They all mean the same thing.
