People who are pursuing personal injury cases - and especially car accident claims - are often curious about the settlement value of herniated disc cases. As many people know, herniated discs are commonly found in the necks and/or backs of people who have been involved in serious accidents where there has been a whiplash motion in the spine.

Herniated disc cases arise when the soft disc material that separates the bones in the spinal column has enough force or pressure applied to it that the soft material inside the disc pushes through the tougher walls of the disc, thus causing a herniation.

A herniated disc after a personal injury is often treated conservatively at first - usually with medication or physical therapy. Herniated discs can cause a wide variety of symptoms from back pain, to sciatica, to numbness and/or tingling down the arms for legs.

If a herniated disc does not respond well to conservative modalities, a personal injury victim might receive injections or even a rhizotomy. The last resort is almost always surgery, and sometimes herniated discs even require the installation of hardware and a fusion of the disc levels.

As a result of the wide variety in presentation and seriousness of disc herniations in personal injury cases, it is very difficult to predict for any personal injury lawyer to predict a settlement value without knowing all of the facts.
