What to do if my husband worked for a company for about 5 years as an home theater installer and now has back injuries?
In that time he has offeren hurt his back due to lifting heavy TV’s. He has been to the doctor several times because of it. He had to quiet working 10 months ago because of his back so he has a job now as a banker. However, he still had pains in his back so finally this month the doctor ordered him an MRI; it showed that he has 4 slipped disks in his back. He now has to see a spin specialist for it. Can someone please tell us where we can go from here?

I suggest that you consult with a worker's compensation attorney in your area. Injuries on the job are covered by a special worker's compensation program in every state. Since the requirements of the program are different in different states, you need to consult someone in your state. Please do this immediately as there are time limits for filing claims.
