San Jose Neck & Back Injuries Attorney

Compassionate Legal Representation for Neck and Back Injuries in San Jose

Back and neck injuries can be debilitating, and they can make life miserable, as victims and their families know all too well. Sometimes, neck and back pain do not fully manifest themselves until some time after an injury has occurred. The delayed effects of injuries to the neck or back may include ongoing pain, restrictions on range of motion, numbness or tingling, or even partial or total paralysis. While these issues may not seem to be serious at first, they can become worse over time, leading to ongoing problems that may affect nearly every part of a person's life.

Insurance claims adjusters often downplay the severity of an injury, even if the harm a person has suffered may leave them unable to work again, unable to contribute to family life, unable to enjoy life, and in chronic pain. However, when someone else was responsible for causing an injury, they may be held liable for the damages a victim has suffered. Taking the right steps to protect your right to receive compensation may be difficult, but you can do so with the help of an experienced personal injury attorney.

The Law Office of John J. Garvey, III works to ensure that injury victims receive the proper settlements when filing insurance claims related to neck or back injuries. You serve your own best interests by discussing your case with an experienced San Jose back injury lawyer who has ample experience representing people who have been injured in similar situations. Mr. Garvey will negotiate with insurance companies or help you determine what other options for compensation may be available, including pursuing personal injury lawsuits against the responsible parties.
