When You Hurt Your Back at Work

Even a relatively mild back injury can have a serious impact on your life and your ability to work. A more serious injury can be temporarily or permanently disabling and leave an injured person unable to work, unable to provide for themselves or their family and facing serious physical and emotional challenges.

At the Overland Park law office of John R. Stanley, LLC, we help injured workers in the Kansas City Metro area protect their rights and collect the compensation they need to move forward. Our practice is entirely devoted to handling workers' comp cases, and we are passionate about helping people in need. Together we will take your case as far as necessary to protect your rights.

Back Injury and its Effects

Whether as a result of a sudden traumatic event or long term repetitive stress, any back injury can immediately impact your ability to work. These can be extremely painful injuries and even result in a permanent lifestyle change associated with paralysis and total disability.

Our attorney works with clients in Missouri and Kansas who are suffering from:

• Lower back or upper back pain
• Bulging discs
• Traumatic injury
• Fractures
• Spinal cord damage
• Paralysis

Moreover, a back injury and the pain associated with it can lead to other disabilities that may prevent you from working. Many people who experience chronic pain may suffer psychological effects including depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Whether you are injured as a direct result of your work duties or you have been injured in a work related situation by a 3rd party, our lawyer and our entire office will put the full benefit of our knowledge and experience behind your case. We will help you pursue all options for your workmans' comp benefits.
