Workers’ Comp And Back Injury Lawyer

Some of the most common workers’ compensation claims in Lancaster County and the State of Pennsylvania come from back and spinal cord injuries on the job. Any job that involves heavy lifting, constant movement or other repetitive physical stress can cause damage to disks, nerves and other areas of the back and spinal cord. These injuries can make it difficult to work and live normally and can cost you thousands of dollars in medical treatment.

Types of Back Injuries at Work

Many injuries to the back develop over time and may not be recognized early on by workers who suffer from them. The lower back (lumbar area) is susceptible to sprains and other injuries that can linger but can be attributed to general soreness and not worthy of a medical checkup. The injury will continue to get worse until an MRI or other examination reveals that the employee has a herniated disk or another serious back injury.

These injuries can result in severe pain and nerve injuries that could prevent workers from performing their day-to-day responsibilities. Other back and spinal cord injuries that can result from prolonged stress, or from accidents on the job, include:

• Ruptured and herniated disks
• Fractured vertebrae
• Sprains and strains
• Paralysis
• Paraplegia or quadriplegia

No matter what your injury, knowing the benefits that you may be entitled to and how to pursue those benefits can be difficult. An experienced attorney can provide the advice and guidance you need.
