Disc and Back Injuries
The personal injury lawyers at Brett & Coats represent clients with back and disc injuries who seek prompt, fair and just compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of others.
We practice throughout Washington State from our offices in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Bellingham. Because of our technical systems we are paperless and wireless so we can meet clients anywhere throughout the state.
Back injuries can vary from a minor annoyance to a herniated disc, a torn ligament, a fracture, or paralysis. Herniated, slipped, or ruptured discs occur when a disc (the part of the spinal column which separates each bony vertebrae) is pushed out of place and presses on spinal nerves causing severe back, neck or leg pain. A serious back problem may lead to chronic pain, inability to work and lost productivity.
The personal injury lawyers at Brett & Coats have been helping victims of personal injury with back and disc injuries win substantial settlements and awards in Washington State for more than 36 years. For examples, see case results.
We are proud to represent those hurt through no fault of their own, and we fight passionately to hold those who cause harm accountable for their actions. When accidents happen, whether through ignorance, carelessness or negligence – the consequences can be significant. Personal injury can cause more than physical harm; it can impact the victims’ family, finances and future. While monetary compensation cannot change the past, it can help the personal injury victim meet the challenges of the future with less worry about medical bills, employment and rehabilitation. A victim and his family can then focus on medical recovery.
Herniated discs are often the result of car accidents, and more than one million workers suffer back injuries each year. In some cases, defective or unsafe products cause injury to the back or discs, and manufacturers of defective equipment can be held liable for injuries caused by their defective products. Other causes of back and disc injury include swimming and diving accidents and violent assaults.
