Lexington Back Injury Lawyer
Columbia SC Work Related Back Injuries

"I know from personal experience that a back injury is likely the single most painful and debilitating type of condition an otherwise healthy individual can suffer from."  James Snell.
          
Workplace back injuries happen to all types of employees throughout South Carolina. The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, represents people who have injured their back at work.

Some back injuries are caused by automobile accidents, construction site accidents, or falls. Other cases may be caused by heavy lifting or a repetitive strain.  Regardless of the cause if you hurt your back at work you may qualify for Workers' Compensation benefits.

Work related back injuries may consist of:

Spinal Cord Injuries
Herniated, Bulging, Slipped or Ruptured Discs
Chronic Lumbar Pain
Chronic Cervical Pain
Pain in your groin and hips
Pain in your legs and feet
Pain in your arms and hands

Possible treatments may include surgery, physical therapy, pain therapy, medication and injections. This may be expensive medical care that your employer or their insurance company may not always want to provide.

Because a back injury may be very expensive to provide benefits for many times employers and their insurance company choose to ignore or deny a legally valid claim. Depending on the severity of your injury (which can't always be known the day, week or month of your accident) you may qualify for:

Weekly payments
Medical Treatments
Payment for Permanent Impairment
Permanent Disability Benefits
