A Car Accident is a common cause of these types of injuries.

It must be proven that the injury falls within one of nine categories of "serious injury." Having a herniated disc in and of itself is often not sufficient to successfully win your case in court.

Defendant's commonly argue the following defenses:

• Herniated discs are common in people over 40 years of age;
• The plaintiff's back injury was a pre-existing condition;
• Juries tend to disregard a plaintiff's claim if they suffered an injury in a Car Accident; however, there is little, if any damage to the car.
