Back Disability Attorney

In your search for a back disability attorney you will want to ask how familiar your attorney is with back disabilities.

A back disability can leave a person realizing how much they use their back on the job. As a back disability attorney I have seen the Dr. tell the client that they need back surgery, and may not be able to return to their job. Unfortunately after the first back surgery many of my clients discover that they can no longer work at all, as a back disability attorney I have seen this so many times. Just having mobility can be an issue for many back injury clients who have surgery, many clients have to use assistants in walking, or have to take pain medication.

The damage and surgery to the spine and back can range from ruptured discs; scoliosis; harrington rod implant; stimulator implant; spinal fusion, and many other types of surgery and damages to the spine and back. A back surgery is a very serious situation, and letting social security disability know about it is very important. In my experiences as a back disability attorney I understand that even after surgery many people cant go back to work.

It can be a scary time when the realization strikes that you can no longer work due to your back condition, however here at my office I have helped many back injury clients and understand how I need to handle your claim. I can help you at the initial application level or after you receive your denial letter from social security disability, it does not cost anymore money to have me help you from the initial application level, and of course there is never an up front fee for my service, and you do not owe me any money should I not win your claim, that is a promise from me, Daniel L. McMurtry, Esq. the founder and owner of this office.

I will review your medical records, (and consult with medical professionals should that be necessary) and let social security know about your back injury, and what type of surgery was performed on your back along with any hardware that was put into your back, and or any type of medical device implanted or used in your surgery, it is important to convey to social security disability the seriousness of your back surgery, and or multiple back surgeries.

Please give me a call, if you can’t come to me, I will come to you.

Back Surgery Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

As a back surgery disability attorney I have represented a large number of claimants who suffer from the effects of back surgery and multiple back surgeries. As a back surgery disability attorney I see that back surgeries quite often involve permanent screws, pins, plates, and rods are placed on the spinal column, replacement of discs; removal of discs, and spinal fusion. When you choose your back surgery disability attorney, do you want to know they have done this before? Call us at 1 (877) 271-2633.

The most common effects from back surgery tends to be the inability to tolerate bending over; tolerate standing for periods of time; sitting down for long periods of time; missing work often; and constant pain. While many claimants tend to feel better after their surgery, they can never return to their career, and often find it impossible to return to work, due to their physical limitations associated with their back.

Most back surgeries have to be done as a result of accidents, disease, and or a combination of the two. Social Security disability has several listings that take into account all the problems that are associated with back surgeries and multiple back surgeries, due in part to either disease and or an accident.

A very important part of your disability case will be your medical records, they will show the judge what you have been through, and what you suffer from, along with a detailed explanation of your back surgery and or surgeries. Sometimes it is possible to obtain a medical source statement from a treating physician such as back surgeon and or a primary care doctor, obtaining one of these allows the judge to get an up to date opinion from your doctor.

If you need our assistance with your disability claim, please give me a call, you will speak directly to an attorney, and if I on the phone with another client, I will personally call you back. Here at socialsecuritydenied.com your case is the most important case.

Back Injury Spine Injury

by Disability Lawyer

There is a listing under the rules of Social Security Disability entitled Disorders of the Spine. In terms that we all use more frequently this would be a back injury, and or back problems, things like back surgery, having screws, pins, plates or cages attached to the spine would fall under this category. It includes problems with the back that have arisen over your life time like herniated disc, arthritis, fractures, nerve root problems and spinal stenosis. Social Security Disability combines these problems, (whichever one you may fall under) and under the listing requires one of the additional following things:

A. Evidence of nerve root compression characterized by neuro-anatomic distribution of pain, limitation of motion of the spine, motor loss (atrophy with associated muscle weakness or muscle weakness) accompanied by sensory or reflex loss and if there is involvement of the lower back, positive straight leg raising test OR

B. Spinal arachnoiditis confirmed by an operative note or pathology report of tissue biopsy or by appropriate medically acceptable imaging, manifested by sever burning or painful dysesthesia, resulting in the need for changes in position or posture more than once every 2 hours OR

C. Lumbar spinal stenosis resulting in pseudoclaudication established by findings on appropriate medically acceptable imaging manifested by chronic nonradicular pain and weakness, and resulting in inability to ambulate effectively.

A back injury or back problems are severely disabling, many people who work jobs that require lifting and carrying can no longer perform their tasks at work.

Back Injury Disability Attorney

I have had several cases involving back injuries, many people through no fault of their own have hurt their back over the years of work, and have to undergo surgery as a result, many times leaving them unable to work, and thus applying for Social Security Disability. Many times these disabilities become prevalent in the lower part of the back or lumbosacral area.

Spine disorders include, herniated nucleus, spinal arachnoiditis, spinal stenosis, osteorarthritis, degenerative disc disease, facet arthritis, verebral fracture with:

(1) Evidence of a nerve root compression

(2) Spinal arachnoiditis, confirmed by operative notes or pathology report

(3) Lumbar Spinal stenosis resulting in pseudoclaudication

Many people have or will have back surgery, I have met many clients who have had back surgery, but do not know if they fall under one of the technical terms above. Many people know they have severe back pain, but do not understand the above mentioned list.

A severe back injury requiring surgery can be a career ending disability. Please give the law office a call Monday through Friday at toll free 1 (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633 and let me review your claim and see if I can help you out in your time of need.
