Injury to the lumbar spine or lower back is one of the most common types of work-related injuries. Many of these injuries result from improper lifting and falls, and cause great pain that make it impossible to return to work. That is why workers' compensation claims involving low back injuries often result in substantial benefits.

At the Picardi Law Firm we represent people throughout the Denver metro area who have been injured at work. Regardless of fault, we help injured workers apply for and obtain the following workers' compensation benefits:

A ruptured or herniated disk, a strained ligament, lumbar pain or a thrown-out back can hinder your ability to work. Whether your injuries are permanent or temporary, you may qualify for workers' compensation benefits.

You must act quickly to qualify for workers' compensation benefits — even a four-day delay can dramatically affect your ability to collect the full range of benefits.

The most important thing you can do, besides getting medical treatment, is to speak to a lawyer experienced in the area of workers' compensation claims. Our firm's founding attorney, Steven J. Picardi, practices almost exclusively in this area — allowing him to stay abreast of the latest developments and legal trends.

With experience in handling medical malpractice claims, we understand how to work with medical professionals. We work with medical experts to analyze the extent, duration and severity of your work-related lower back injury.
