If you or a family member suffered herniated disc in an accident in New Jersey, you need an experienced New Jersey injury lawyer to handle your claim and make sure you are fairly compensated. At My NJ Injury Lawyer Howard P. Lesnik, Esq., I fight to ensure my clients receive the benefits they are entitled to.
Some attorneys may guess and say they can tell how much a case is worth right after an accident. An experienced personal injury attorney will know the value of a case is difficult to evaluate until after you have completed your treatment. Asking an attorney how much your case is worth before you finish treating is like asking a doctor what’s wrong with your neck before seeing your MRI images. A thorough lawyer will want to know the details of the accident, complete an investigation into what happened, and review all the medical records before predicting the value of a case.
There is no scientific formula to figure out how much a herniated disc case is worth. There are many important factors that determine the value of herniated disc cases in New Jersey. Here are some of the important factors that determine the value of a herniated disc case.
Was the herniated disc caused from degenerative changes (wear and tear) or was it caused from the trauma in an accident? An experienced personal injury attorney will have a doctor write an expert report if your herniated disc is related to the accident.
Discs are like cushions in your spine. A bulging disc is when the outer wall weakens. A herniated disc is when the disc ruptures and the inner-gel leaks out. This is similar to jelly oozing out of a donut. Did the bulging disc or herniated disc press on the nerve of the spinal cord? Is there pain or numbness that travels to your arms or legs?
Did you treat conservatively with a chiropractor and physical therapists? Did you treat with a pain management doctor? Did you have epidural injections in your neck or your back? Did your herniated disc require surgery?
Both bulges and herniated discs are permanent injuries that will never go back to the way they were before the accident.
You need to include out of pocket expenses and medical bills in your claim. This value cannot be calculated until you are done treating. If you settled your claim before you finished treating, you would not be compensated for any additional bills incurred after the settlement.
Is there clear liability for the party that caused the accident is at fault? There must be evidence that the other party was negligent or did not act like a reasonable person would under the circumstances.
If you or a loved one suffered a herniated disc in an accident, you should contact an attorney familiar with handling these claims. Many lawyers will tell you how much your claim is worth without evaluating all the factors in your case. These lawyers are only interested in telling you what you want to hear so they can represent you. Make sure your attorney is not only driven by money. Your attorney must be experienced in NJ personal injury claims and be familiar with all variables in your case before discussing who much your case can be worth.

Howard is very professional and very pleasant at all times. He was amazing during the entire process of fighting for me and told me not to worry. Once he told me that I knew I made the right choice of hiring him as my lawyer. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained the entire process to me in full detail in a way I could understand. He calls, emails and text you to keep you updated all throughout the process as I was being sued do to a car accident with false accusations. GUESS WHAT??? He called me a few days ago and told me the case was dismissed. He is again AMAZING. I was worried but I felt he was confident that we would win but he did not tell me this. You could just feel the confidence in his voice. I highly recommend Howard because he will fight with and for you until the very end. He is the BEST!!
