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 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.

Murfreesboro VA Colonoscopy

by Disability Lawyer

The Murfreesboro Tennessee VA announced that from April 23, 2003 until December 1, 2008 veterans who had colonoscopies performed in the VA of Murfreesboro may have been exposed to HIV and Hepatitis C, due to a valve that was not properly sanitized and or attached to the medical machine used in the procedure.

The Murfreesboro VA believes that close to 6 thousand veterans may have been exposed to the body fluids of others, as the valve used in the colonoscopy was not properly cleaned and or placed correctly on the machine. The Alvin C. York VA Center of Murfreesboro has announced that they are offering free blood tests to determine if any veteran has contracted the deadly diseases. These free screenings have been offered via a letter sent out to veterans.

HIV and Hepatitis C are deadly diseases, you can have one or both and not be aware of it. It is important to follow up with at the Murfreesboro VA and have your blood tested. I am in hopes that no veteran will test positive, but what if you do test positive, what happens then?

Do you have rights against the Murfreesboro VA? Yes you do have rights, you should expect not to be exposed to someones body fluids by having a routine colonoscopy. If you do test positive for any diseases related to this treatment, you do have legal rights, although they are somewhat different because it involves the United States Government. Your claim may fall under the GTLA, (Governmental Tort Liability Act), I have filed suit under the GTLA before, it is not easy to take on the government and there are many hurdles to doing so, but in this case it may be required if you test positive for any diseases related to the colonoscopy procedure.

Your rights as a Veteran under the GTLA in regards to the Murfreesboro VA have deadlines and procedures that must be met to secure your claim. I would be pleased to speak to you and review your facts. There is no excuse for veterans of the United States to be subjected to such mistakes.

I would be pleased to speak with you at anytime about your situation. I have already spoken to several veterans and reviewed facts of the procedure, please feel free to phone me toll free at (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633.

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.
