Head, neck and back injuries can be difficult to prove in some cases. If the accident that caused your injury was not reported immediately, the workers' compensation insurance company or your own employer might contest your claim the injury is work-related, putting your benefits at risk. Proving your injury was the result of a work accident might be a challenge.
Proving Your Work Injury Claim
A head, neck or back injury claim is a "whole person" injury claim under workers' compensation insurance, which makes the insurance company more resistant to making you whole. If you were injured from a fall, collision, lifting, driving accident or other incident related to your job, you should seek legal representation right away to protect your rights and benefits.
We can help you properly file your claim for benefits, obtain appropriate medical care and communicate with the insurance company. Whether you have suffered a concussion, blow to the head, spinal cord injury, whiplash, neck sprain, lower back strain or herniated disk, contact us now.

- You can appeal a Final Admission of Liability.
