Herniated Disc Injuries

Speak to an Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney

Injuries to the spine can be caused by many different types of accidents and activities.  A herniated disc, sometime called a "slipped disc" or "ruptured disc" is caused when a sudden or repeated activity pushes the cartilage that acts as a cushion between the vertebrae in your spine out of place or damages it.  Whiplash is a common accident in vehicle collisions that stretches the neck and can cause a herniated disc.  Such injuries are very painful and can be quite debilitating to the victim.  If you have suffered from a herniated disc injury that was caused by the negligence of another you should speak with an Atlanta personal injury lawyer at Van Sant Law, LLC.
