Pennsylvania Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Neck and back injuries are the most common work-related injuries and they tend to linger. In many instances they may get progressively worse as you continue to try to work through the pain. It is important that you immediately report a workplace injury so that your employer is aware of your injury and so that you can get the medical treatment that you need.

At the Law Offices of Richard A. Jaffe, LLC, we have seen far too many injured workers who have failed to notify their employer of their work injury or who have been forced to return to work by the company doctor, even though they are not physically capable of doing so. Such delay in contacting an experienced workers' compensation lawyer will only worsen the injury or prolong the recovery time.
Why wait so long?
- Workers are afraid of losing their jobs.
- Workers are afraid the benefits will be denied.
- Workers want the injury to go away and think it will.
Back Trauma and Permanent Injury
People never pay attention to their backs — until they have been injured. Back injury, including chronic back pain, herniated disc, bulging disk or degenerative disc disease and lower back injury, including sprains and strains, and lumbar sprains can severely limit a person's ability to work, let alone enjoy family life and social activities. If trauma to the lower back from lifting is not treated, it can lead to more severe conditions, such as bulging disks, herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, which could prevent an injured worker from being able to perform in his or her chosen field. If your company doctor does not allow you to have an MRI or CAT scan then you may be ordered back to work prematurely, which can cause even more damage.
Your Rights Come First
It is the intention of lawyer Richard A. Jaffe to protect your rights and support you at every stage of the workers' compensation claims process. He is committed to helping injured workers obtain the benefits that are their rights under the law. He can also help defend you against Petitions in the mail and appeal your denied claim or seek to settle your claim in a lump sum settlement for the maximum value possible.
He has vast experience in helping injured workers who have suffered injuries, such as severe, permanent injury from falls off scaffolding causing permanent neck damage to loss of vision due to construction accidents, to severe facial disfigurement from a dog bite at a vet clinic.
If you are an injured worker seeking workers' compensation benefits or you have workers' compensation benefits but are being asked to submit to an independent medical exam (IME), you have a lot more to lose than your employer does if your claim is challenged, denied, modified, suspended or terminated.
