Injury claim
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer wall and presses on a nerve root. It is the single most common serious crash injury and the one insurers most often blame on degeneration. Winning it means proving the crash either caused the herniation or made an asymptomatic condition symptomatic.
Typical claim range
$40,000 – $750,000
A general range only. Value turns on liability, available coverage, treatment, permanency and lost income — not on the injury label.
