Many people who suffer neck, back or spine disorders can’t work because they are in too much pain. However, when applying for Social Security Disability or SSI as a result of a spinal disorder, it can be difficult to persuade the Social Security Administration that your pain is real. It often takes an experienced disability lawyer to prove that your claim is legitimate.
At Leland Law, based in Whittier, our lawyers offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your neck, back or spinal disorder. For your convenience, we represent people in Downey, Santa Ana, Ontario and throughout Southern California. Contact a Whittier spinal disability claims lawyer today.
Types of Spinal Disorders
Our lawyers have successfully handled spinal disorder claims for:
- Back injuries
- Herniated discs/bulging discs
- Pinched nerves
- Repetitive stress injuries such as a back injury due to heavy lifting
- Degenerative disc disease
- Failed back syndrome
To obtain the disability benefits you deserve, you must show that the spinal disorder has prevented (or is expected to prevent) you from working for 12 continuous months. Our lawyers will work with your doctor and witnesses such as your friends, family members and co-workers.
Herniated Discs and Failed Back Syndrome
A herniated disc may cause nerve damage, resulting in numbness and tingling in extremities and pain in certain areas that follow a nerve pattern. Back surgery may not always be successful. If you have had multiple unsuccessful back surgeries to repair a herniated disc or other back injury, you may be diagnosed with a condition called failed back syndrome in which you experience chronic back pain.
