What Is the Average Settlement For a Herniated Disc in a Car Accident?

 

There is no way to determine the average settlement for a herniated disc suffered in a car accident. Disc injuries vary in severity and symptoms. Each accident occurs under completely unique circumstances.

No single settlement affects the value of another. For this reason, average settlement figures are of little consequence.

How We will Value Your Settlement for a Herniated Disc

To determine the cost of your herniated disc, we will:

  • Itemize each of your losses
  • Determine the cost of each loss
  • Total your losses

Our team will determine the share of fault for your accident. If other parties are completely liable, they should pay for all your losses.

We will also handle every other case-related responsibility. This includes:

  • Determining liability
  • Creating your written claim or lawsuit
  • Handling case-related communications
  • Completing your case through a settlement or judgment

Your recovery should be your only concern.

Losses We can Help You Seek Compensation For

We are not concerned with average settlement figures for a herniated disc. Instead, we want to know what your specific losses are and whether we can obtain coverage for them. The following losses may entitle you to compensation.

Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Anguish

The Mayo Clinic explains that a herniated disc can cause painful nerve damage, numbness, and weakness. These symptoms may:

  • Prevent you from engaging in health-promoting activities
  • Cause emotional and psychological distress
  • Lead to conditions like depression

Lack of exercise and general normalcy can cause great harm. We generally refer to this harm as “pain and suffering,” and we seek compensation to account for this harm.

Medical Treatment

Per Healthline, you may need X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or discograms to diagnose your injury. This will cost money, as will treatment for your injury.

We will seek coverage of your medical expenses. You may deserve compensation for:

  • The cost of your medical care
  • The cost of transportation to medical appointments
  • Medical-adjacent costs, like in-home equipment

Lost Income

Our team will fight for coverage of:

  • Income you have already lost
  • Income you may lose in the future
  • Permanent loss of income if your injury is disabling
  • Lost productivity
  • Other work-related damages

A herniated disc can prevent you from earning a living. Any settlement that we negotiate for you will include coverage of lost income.

Property Damage

If your accident caused an injury, it may have also caused significant damage to your vehicle. We can seek compensation for:

  • Repair of your vehicle
  • Replacement of your vehicle
  • Temporary transportation
  • Damage of property inside of or fastened to your vehicle

If you or a loved one experienced any other losses, we will include those in your case for recovery.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

We’ll do all We can to Fight for a Fair Settlement For You

Though a settlement is not the only possible outcome for your case, it is our first choice. As the American Bar Association (ABA) notes, there are several reasons to seek a settlement.

By securing a settlement, you:

  • May obtain compensation more quickly than with other avenues
  • Do not have to go to court
  • Do not have to wait for a trial to end

We will negotiate for the settlement that you deserve. If we cannot secure such compensation through a settlement, we will take your case to trial.

Consider our Record of Winning

Our track record of results is one reason to hire our firm. Our settlements and verdicts include winnings of:

  • $23 million
  • $17 million
  • $10.4 million
  • $7 million

We have secured substantial coverage for clients through both trials and settlement negotiations. We will pursue coverage for your accident-related losses.

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

You do not Pay Us Unless We Win

Our firm only receives a fee if we obtain compensation for you. We handle your entire case without any upfront payment.

You do not have to pay us specifically for:

  • Investigating your case
  • Completing paperwork
  • Hiring experts
  • The time and effort that we spend on your case

Instead, you agree to pay us a portion of your winnings. If we do not win your case, then you owe us nothing.

Why You should call Our Team as soon as possible

Louisiana has a shorter window for seeking compensation than many other states. According to CC 3493.1, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to bring a personal injury lawsuit.

You should call our team whether:

  • You know that it has been less than two years since your accident
  • You are uncertain of how long it has been since your accident
  • You know it has been more than two years since your accident

There are exceptions to statutes of limitations. You could be eligible for compensation even if it has been more than two years since your accident.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
