Skilled Counsel For Injured Workers From All Walks Of Life
Neck and back injuries such as herniated disks and low back injuries can be excruciatingly painful and debilitating, often leading to pain in other areas of the body and numbness in the hands and feet. Our firm represents people from all walks of life who have experienced these types of injuries, including migrant workers, blue collar workers and professional athletes.
If you have suffered a neck or back injury at work, it is important to let your employer know as soon as possible. Though you have 180 days to report the injury, you should let your employer know within 30 days to avoid adverse consequences.
Even if your back injury was part of a pre-existing condition, but it was further aggravated by your job duties, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Michael Schultz is familiar with all of the nuances of Minnesota’s workers’ compensation system, and he will work hard to get you the benefits you deserve.
Did You Know? A Severe Back Injury May Qualify You For SSDI Benefits.
If a severe spinal injury, herniated disc or chronic neck pain prevents you from working, your workers’ compensation benefits might be only part of the solution. You may also qualify for federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Our experienced workers’ compensation lawyer helps injured workers coordinate workers’ comp claims and SSD simultaneously. He coordinates everything to make sure that your workers’ comp settlement does not trigger offsets or reduce your monthly federal disability check.
Neck or back injuries from a workplace accident often prevent a return to gainful employment. If medical treatment fails to restore your ability to work, federal disability benefits can offer a lifeline alongside your state workers’ compensation payments.
