Spine injuries are treated with a myriad of protocols, including physical therapy, pain injections, and spine manipulations. However, many spine injuries result in the need for invasive surgeries such as spine fusions or discectomies. This can be a daunting proposition for any injury victim. Surgeries are always the last resort, but sometimes victims can just no longer live with the pain of everyday “living” following a serious truck accident. These can be very tough times.

Did an unqualified truck driver cause your spine injury? Trucking companies are required to maintain a driver's qualification file on each driver. The driver qualification file must contain: 1) the driver's application for employment, 2) a written record of inquiries to previous employers of the driver to verify safety history, 3) a pre-hire MVR report, 4) results of any road test or copy of a driver's CDL license, 5) the driver's annual review, 6) the MVR for each annual review, 7) the driver's certified list of violations and accidents, and 8) the DOT medical examination certificate of fitness. (49 C.F.R. §391.51(b)). Our truck accident injury lawyers request a driver's qualification file immediately to determine whether the driver was properly qualified by the trucking company prior to being placed on the road.

Spine injury truck accident claims must be handled differently than a soft-tissue injury. Experts in orthopedics and neurology must be retained by the spine injury lawyer in order to obtain fair compensation for this type of serious injury. Due to the complexity of the spinal cord, judges and juries benefit from expert testimony in an effort to properly articulate damages of this magnitude. If your truck accident spine injury lawyer does not have these experts on board from the start of your case, it may negatively affect your chances of fair compensation.
