By Emily Mapp Brannon, Personal Injury Attorney in Portsmouth

My Virginia law firm colleague John Cooper recently published an article in which he discusses herniated disc injuries and common causes of the painful, sometimes disabling, condition. Many car wreck and truck crash victims suffer herniated discs and require years of medical treatment and extensive surgeries.  Railroad workers also have high risks for suffering back injuries. To learn more, check out “Common Accident Injury: Herniated Discs.”
