Herniated Discs

Construction Site Injuries

Herniated discs are one of the most common types of injuries experienced among New York construction workers. Although herniated discs can resolve with time and basic treatment, this construction accident injury can cause chronic, long-term pain for many of its victims. If you or a loved one sustained a herniated disc on a New York construction site, fill out our free case evaluation form on the right. Our New York construction accident attorneys will review your claim, at no cost to you, to determine whether we can recover compensation for your herniated disc injuries.

Herniated discs can develop in any part of the spine, but most commonly affect the lower back. Often referred to as ruptured or slipped discs, herniated discs can also impact the upper back or neck. Should the herniated disc apply pressure to the nerves, the victim will experience intense pain. Other indications of a herniated disc include pain or numbness in the rear, weakness in the legs, and loss of feeling, strength and mobility in the feet or legs.

Most construction workers who suffer herniated discs are instructed to refrain from extreme physical exertion, such as lifting heavy objects. As a result, many workers who suffer herniated discs on a construction site will be unable to return to work or earn the wages they are accustomed to making. If you have suffered a herniated disc in a construction site accident, you may be able to collect compensation for lost wages and other resulting damages.
