Herniated Disc and Personal Injury
The Mayo Clinic describes discs as the rubbery cushions between the vertebrae in your spine. A herniated disc can result from a personal injury and in some cases, require emergency surgery.
One of the key effects of a herniated disc is that of numbness or tingling in an arm or leg. The location of the herniated disc can affect where the numbness occurs and if the disc affects a nerve.
Recovery from this type of injury may require extensive therapy and rest, resulting in missed time from work. Depending upon the physical demands of your job, you may never return to your career or your favorite activities.
If your herniated disc is due to the negligence of another person, speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

We Will Determine How Your Herniated Disc Occurred
A herniated disc can occur in a variety of circumstances where negligence is a factor. One such circumstance is a car accident, which can be caused by a variety of dangerous driver behaviors, including:
- Drinking and driving: The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports over 16,000 cases of operating under the influence (OVI) enforcement during 2019.
- Distracted driving: State officials report nearly 6,000 cases involving distracted driving violations this year so far.
- Aggressive driving: A study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that nearly 80 percent of respondents admitted to engaging in aggressive driving within the past month.
- Drowsy driving: A driver who drives while drowsy may experience the same impairments of a drunk driver, including delayed reaction time.
The herniated disc you experienced due to the careless actions of another driver can impact you physically, financially, and emotionally. Letting a herniated disc lawyer serving Gahanna help you file a claim and lawsuit is your opportunity for pursuing legal action against the responsible party.

State Law Limits the Time Allowed for Pursuing Civil Action
In order to pursue a civil claim and lawsuit, you must act quickly. The statute of limitations in Ohio is generally two years (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10).
Two years may sound like plenty of time when it can pass in the blink of an eye. If you miss filing your civil lawsuit within the required deadline, you may be barred from pursuing compensation forever.
