Common questions
Spinal cord injury FAQs
Is a back injury covered by workers' compensation?
If it happened in the course of your work, a back or spinal injury is generally covered, including injuries that build up over time from repetitive tasks. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, so you do not have to prove employer negligence.
What benefits might I receive?
Depending on your case, benefits can include medical treatment, temporary disability payments while you recover, and permanent disability benefits if your injury has lasting effects.
How long do I have to report it?
Report the injury to your employer promptly, generally within 30 days, with further deadlines to file the claim. Contact us early. [CONFIRM: confirm deadlines for your specific claim]

Verified 5-star Google reviews. Patrick Hollingsworth is named throughout.
Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
