Indianapolis Workers Comp Injury Lawyer

Neck, back, and spinal cord injuries are among the most common workplace injuries. Many neck and back injuries can be mild, but they still require action from the employer when they occur on the job. Back, neck, and spine injuries can also be extremely serious and change the course of an employee’s life. With these types of injuries people face loss of income, loss of employment, and an inability to work - sometimes permanently.
