Settlement value is built from proof, not labels. Cases involving multiple herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve damage, or epidural steroid injections need clear medical causation. They also need imaging, treatment history, lost wage proof and a documented effect on daily life.
MRI findings, surgical consults, injections, therapy notes, and prior records help distinguish new trauma from preexisting degeneration.
EMG studies, specialist notes, pain patterns, and functional limits support nerve damage settlement cases.
Wage records, medical bills, future care, and out-of-pocket costs show the financial impact beyond the headline amount.
Credible testimony about work, sleep, mobility, family responsibilities, and quality of life helps explain pain and suffering.
