Permanent Disability After a Work Accident
Some workers suffer injuries on the job that are serious enough to result in permanent disabilities – including things like a spinal cord injury (SCI) or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Permanent, disabling injuries such as these affect the victim’s entire family dynamic and come with tremendous financial costs.
Here at Hiden, Rott & Oertle, LLP, we have the experience you need when you find yourself in this position. We are workers’ compensation lawyers with decades of combined experience. We focus on working closely with all of our clients here in San Diego – with an emphasis on transparency and education. If you have been seriously injured in the workplace and you believe you are facing a permanent disability, we want to help.
How Do Disabilities Happen?
All workplace accidents are unique, but studies have found that musculoskeletal issues are one of the top reasons for pain-related disability claims. These include spinal cord injuries, lower back pain, arthritis and neck pain.
In some cases, workers suffer injuries in one-time events, such as falling from a ladder or being struck by a vehicle on a job site. In other cases, workers suffer from long-term working conditions, such as developing back pain or carpal tunnel syndrome from working at a desk every day for years on end.
Either way, it pays to have skilled workers’ compensation attorneys who understand your condition, the law and the steps needed to seek proper disability benefits – especially for the kind of injuries that leave you with permanent disabilities.
