Baton Rouge and Lafayette Back Injury Lawyers
In a car crash or other violent impact, the spinal column can absorb only so much trauma. Lingering back or neck pain after the accident may in fact be a bulging or herniated vertebral disk. Eventually, surgery may be required to alleviate the pain and regain mobility.

Our legal team is skilled at maximizing compensation by showing the disabling effects of a permanent spine injury on our client's daily life and ability to earn a living.
We have achieved notable recoveries for clients from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Contact us online or toll free at 877-247-3310 for a free initial consultation.
Herniated Disk and Spine Injuries
A herniated disk (a.k.a. slipped disk, ruptured disc, bulging disk, dislocated disk) occurs when the cushion between the vertebrae is pushed out of position or squeezed unnaturally by some trauma. The disk compresses the spinal cord or spinal nerves, creating localized pain as well as shooting pains, numbness or weakness in the legs or extremities.
Cervical and lumbar disk injuries are common in motor vehicle accidents, especially T-bone and rear-end collisions. Attorney Gordon McKernan and his legal team excel at proving the negligence of truck drivers, motorists, boat operators or other parties responsible for the accident.
We work closely with clients and their doctors to document the damage, the side effects and prognosis for recovery. Many clients will require discectomy or spinal fusion surgery to repair, replace or stabilize the disk. Others will endure spinal nerve blocks, physical therapy, intensive chiropractic care and other treatments for the intense pain, tingling and lost range of motion.
