Yes. Even soft tissue or disc injuries can support a claim if they impact your ability to work or carry out daily activities.
This is common with spinal and orthopedic injuries. Proper medical documentation and legal guidance are important to ensure your claim reflects long-term impact.
Compensation may include pain and suffering, lost income, reduced earning capacity, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and future care needs.
Many cases resolve through negotiation, but each claim should be prepared thoroughly in case litigation becomes necessary.
