A back or neck injury is sometimes a difficult legal matter because insurance companies tend to put up roadblocks for claims of soft tissue injuries or injuries that cannot be seen on x-rays or injuries that require chiropractic treatment. At Golitko Legal Group, we understand the challenges you face if you live with pain, are unable to work as before, and do not see the end to your suffering anytime soon.

One of our lawyers is also a nurse, and she is well acquainted with back injuries and their effects, including herniated disks, fractured vertebrae, pinched nerves and bulging disks that require surgery or fusion or physical therapy. You will find both compassion and advocacy at Golitko Legal Group when you discuss your back injury with our lawyers. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

In fact, people in many types of jobs run the risk of back injury due to the physical challenges involved in their work. Even office workers may suffer a back injury by slipping on stairs. Repetitive motion injuries are common in many professions, developing over months or years of repeated tasks.
If your back injury happened at work, Golitko Legal Group is an ideal law firm to handle both your workers' compensation claim and any third-party liability claims. If you are unable to work for 12 months or more as a result of your back injury, ask about your eligibility for Social Security disability benefits.
A subcontractor or an equipment manufacturer may share some liability for your back injury. Learn what is involved in making a claim or filing a lawsuit when a defective product may have contributed to your back injury or lack of guards on dangerous equipment caused serious injury.
Talk to an Attorney About the Compensation That You Need After a Back Injury
Whether your back injury is the result of sudden trauma or the result of repetitive stress and strain — at work or not — you are encouraged to talk to an attorney about any potential claims you may have for compensation. A car accident, a surgical error or an injury caused by police brutality may offer sources of compensation that you are not aware of and do not know how to access. Contact a lawyer at Golitko Legal Group to discuss the accident, your injury and your financial needs.
