FAQ
Morgan & Morgan
Do I Need Medical Attention After a Back Injury?
Yes, seeking prompt medical attention after a back injury is important for proper diagnosis and treatment. Also, from a legal standpoint, this step can help substantiate your claim.
How Serious Can a Back Injury Be in the Long Run?
Back injuries can have long-term consequences, including but not limited to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and a reduced quality of life. In serious cases, back injury victims may succumb to their injuries.
Can I Take Legal Action if the Back Injury Occurred a Long Time Ago?
In California, you only have two years from the accident date to pursue legal action. Any claim filed after that will likely be dismissed, and the other party won't be obligated to compensate you. That's why we recommend having your case reviewed by our experts as soon as possible.
What if I Discovered the Back Injury Just Recently?
You may still be able to take legal action if you recently discovered the back injury. That's because the statute of limitations usually has some exceptions, such as if the victim is a minor.
Against Whom Can I File a Claim With?
You can file a claim against the party responsible for your back injury. This could be a negligent driver, employer, grocery store owner, security guard, or medical professional. Contacting us for a free case review can help establish whether you have a viable claim and, if so, against whom.
What if the At-Fault Party Refuses To Settle My Claim?
In that case, we'll look at alternative ways to recover compensation for your injury and resulting losses. This includes presenting your case to court in front of a judge or jury.
The Insurance Company Wants To Pay My Medical Bills. Should I Accept the Offer?
You shouldn't accept any offer from the insurance company without consulting with an attorney. Insurance companies always protect their interests and won't account for the full value of your case. On the other hand, your attorney wants you to win because they care about you, and also, that's the only way they'll get paid.
Can My Employer Fire Me if I File a Workers' Comp Claim After a Back Injury?
Employers cannot retaliate against employees for filing workers' compensation claims. It is not only illegal but also makes you eligible to file a retaliation lawsuit against them.
