Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana

Re: Bulging disc

In order to provide a meaningful answer to this question more information is needed. Is this a claim under the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Act? Is it a third party claim--an automobile crash case?? an offshore oilfield accident case?? Is it a case of clear liability?? Was there any preexisting condition involving the cervical spine, before the accident at issue occurred?? Has surgery been recommended?? Has surgery been performed?? Has the treating physician assigned a permanent functional disability yet?? Does this injury interfere with the ability of the injured party to earn wages??
