Pre-Settlement Funding: Bulging Disc in Back
A disc in the back may bulge if it becomes swollen, inflamed, or moves out of place. Sometimes, a bulging disc is also referred to as a herniated disc or a slipped disc. A bulging disc in back can be the resulting injury from an accident, such as a slip and fall, auto accident, work-related accident, or other type of accident that impacts the back. In certain cases, someone else was negligent and they may have been the direct cause of the accident. If you are experiencing severe back pain as a result of an accident that a negligent individual caused, you may already be working with a personal injury attorney to get you the money you deserve.
Damages from a personal injury lawsuit that resulted in a bulging disc in back may cover an array of expenses, such as:
- Pain medications
- Medical and hospital bills
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of wages
Statistics for Building Disk Injuries
Although there are different causes of serious back injuries that result in bulging discs, car accidents are the leading cause. When someone’s body is involved in serious impact, it can cause ligaments, vertebrae, and muscles to be forced out of their natural positions. The result tends to be serious back and neck pain that may require surgery and/or physical therapy to repair.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in one recent year, there were 148,780 cases of back-related injuries that required time off work. If you’re part of this statistic, a loss of income may be putting a significant amount of financial stress on you and your family. You may have bills and everyday expenses to worry about and you may be depleting your savings in order to cover those expenses. On top of all that, you may also be dealing with the medical bills that have piled up due to your accident and back pain.
