Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Pre-existing health issues may not be known until an accident occurs. For example, we have represented client’s over the years with low back injuries. A common but unknown pre-existing back condition is degenerative disc disease. Degenerative Disc Disease, also known as DDD, is often the cause of low back pain. DDD is misunderstood by many and often leaves one questioning their health condition.

Degenerative implies to most that this condition will worsen over time. While this is a true statement, the pain from this disease may not worsen and in fact may subside over time. Although the word “disease” is used in this diagnosis, it is not an actual disease but rather a misnomer or a misleading name. DDD is really a degenerative condition which may produce pain and discomfort from time to time.

Degenerative Disc Disease is a natural process that we all experience over time. DDD progresses differently in each individual, some may not have symptoms at all. Over time, the medical community often disagrees and debates about the aspects that surround this condition. Most physicians would agree that if you have been diagnosed with DDD, finding a way to manage your pain and maintain healthy activities will allow you to minimize problems from DDD over time.

If you have sustained an injury and been informed that you have Degenerative Disc Disease the insurance company or the workers’ compensation adjuster may try to minimize your claim and condition. We advise that you contact an experienced personal injury / workers’ compensation lawyer immediately.
