Question about an injury at work?
Can this injury be considered permanent damage under workers comp?
I had a trauma a few months ago but I was just curious if this injury can be considered permanent damage? I also had a closed head injury.my MRI report and it says L3-4,L2-3,L1-2 AND T12-L1 small schmorl’s nodes
L5-s1 degenerative disc with left paracentral disc dispersing left s1 nerve root and with outer annular high signal

A degenerative disc condition in the lumbar spine area is caused by cummulative trauma; you may have had the condition prior to your accident a few months ago, but it was not symptomatic (painful). I am unsure if the Schmorl’s nodes are industrial in etiology.
More facts are needed. What kind of accident occured, what other body parts were injured, et al.
Also, have you ever had any trauma/injury to your lower back prior to the accident a few months ago (apportionment/causation)? This could substantially decrease any award you may receive.
You should contact a workers’ comp attorney.
i would get an employment / disability attorney asap.
DDD is Degenerative Disk DISEASE… not CT/cumulative trauma.
Thats’ why the definition of “DISEASE” is included in a diagnosis.
A work injury can be compensable however if the DDD is aggreviated
by the performance of your job duties. In the course of your
employment. There is no way to tell by your information whether or
not your injury could be determined as permenant total disability.
Apply for SSA/SSDI benefits, and consult with a work comp atty.
Since we’re disscussing the benefits of Question about an injury at
work? | Workers Comp Rights, Excessive arousal leads to altered
muscle tension. This further leads to alteration of fine balance
between agonist & antagonist which is the hall mark of a
quality performance. Once this synergy is lost between agonist
& antagonist; a changed technique rather than the natural
technique is used. There is also “Loss of rhythm”. This factor
predisposes to injury.
