Disk injury is a very extensive and complicated classification of soft tissue injury. Simply put there are three levels of increasing severity. Grade one is called bulging disk. Grade Two is called ruptured disk and grade three is called herniated disk. The grade can be determined by the severity of the symptoms and by a CAT or MRI scan. If found to be positive, a neurosurgical consultation should be made immediately. These are serious injuries that could have a long range effect on your life. Immediate proper evaluation, treatment, and documentation could be crucial to a successful settlement outcome. The settlement outcome generally takes all elements of your past, present and future medical, emotional and financial needs into account. For more information on herniated or bulging disks consult with a personal injury attorney.
