Back Injuries

New Jersey Work Related Back Injury Attorney
Hudson County - Bergen County - Passaic County

Back injuries are both common and complex. Trauma suffered in an auto accident or a serious slip and fall accident can cause of severe back injury and spinal cord injury. Twisting, repetitive lifting, and falling cause workplace injuries such as:

• back strain
• herniated discs
• bulging discs

At Parisi & Gerlanc, PC,, our New Jersey back injury attorneys help people recover financially after they have sustained back injuries from worksite accidents, construction site accidents, slip and fall accidents in unsafe premises, or from motor vehicle accidents.

A catastrophic back injury, such as those from car or construction site accidents, may result in quadriplegic paralysis, paraplegia, and severe, ongoing pain. But even in less severe cases, a worker may find that their movement is impaired, or they experience ongoing weakness in legs, arms or hands, or chronic back pain.

Filing Workers' Compensation Claims

Repetitive stress can also be a factor in back injuries in office workers. Slouching over a keyboard for long periods of time can lead to repetitive stress injury; compressing the neck when cradling a phone on the shoulder can lead to a neck injury called cervical radiculopathy (disk compression).

Know Your Legal Rights

Back injuries can be chronic. Even after your back heals, you may be vulnerable to repeated injury in that area. It is important that you protect your future health and employment by seeking aggressive medical treatment and by securing legal assistance to adequately document the nature and scope of your injuries.

The back injury attorneys at Parisi & Gerlanc will investigate your case and develop a comprehensive picture of the impact of your injuries and the physical limitations you are experiencing now, as well as limitations that may remain even after treatment. We employ a medical specialist on staff to review all files and medical treatments. We will work hard to ensure your back injury case is handled properly and investigated thoroughly.

If your disability continues for more than 12 months, we can help you prepare your application for Social Security Disability Insurance or SSI.

Has the insurance company doctor told you you’re ready to go back to work but you believe you are not yet ready?

We regularly handle these situations, bringing a motion before the court for continued treatment after the insurance company has denied treatment or to extend leave.

Our personal injury attorneys will:

• Educate you about the processes and procedures of workers compensation, social security disability, and litigation (for personal injury cases )
   
• Seek financial coverage so you can secure appropriate treatment for your injuries for the length of time that they are medically necessary
   
• Make sure that you are receiving compensation at the correct pay rate
   
• Ensure that you receive proper compensation for any permanent (residual) disability
