Spinal Cord Injuries

When a Motor Vehicle Accident Results in Paralysis

Spinal cord injury is one of the scariest and most stressful injuries someone in a serious accident can face. In addition to huge medical bills, expensive physical therapy and lost wages that victims and their families can be left with, anger and frustration over diminished mobility and loss in quality of life also take a huge emotional toll.

• Train accidents
• Car accidents
• Large truck accidents
• Recreational vehicle accidents
• Defective products
• Construction site accidents

A serious spinal cord injury can leave victims paralyzed physically, emotionally and economically. Our firm's attorneys know the array of factors that go into building a comprehensive picture a jury can use to effectively determine proper compensation:

• We have strong working relationships with neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, orthopedic doctors and other medical specialists to help us evaluate the nature and extent of your injuries.
