Protecting Your Right to Pursue a Workers' Compensation Claim
When you work a demanding job that puts pressure on your spine every day, the smallest thing — from lifting a relatively light object to sneezing — can trigger a serious, potentially disabling neck or back injury. Common symptoms of spinal injuries include the following:
- Shooting pain in the neck
- Difficulty bending over or lifting objects
- Pain and numbness in the arms, fingers and legs
Unfortunately, many workers who suffer neck and back injuries on the job do not report them because they do not want to endanger their safety bonuses. All too many of these workers end up with serious conditions that make them unable to work and support their families.
If you have any symptoms of a back or neck injury, you need to take them seriously. They may go away after a few days, but they may not. You need to put yourself and your family first, see a doctor, and contact an attorney to discuss your workers' compensation rights.
