Spinal Injuries |
|
The statistics regarding spinal injuries are extraordinary:
over 200,000 people in the U.S. have a disability related
to a spinal cord injury (often involving some degree of
paralysis), with nearly 11,000 new spinal cord injuries
every year. Many more people every year injure the bones
of the spine itself, the vertebrae. The leading cause
of such injuries is automobile accidents.
Spinal injuries can range from whiplash injuries (rapid
acceleration-deceleration often caused by automobile cases),
ruptured or herniated discs of the vertebrae, to direct
injuries to the spinal cord itself. Each type of injury
can have severe and permanent effects, and being fully and
fairly compensated is critical to you and your family.
If you have a spinal injury, it is vitally important that
you consult with the appropriate medical professionals,
so that your injuries will be properly documented in case
you need to present such evidence to a jury. In addition,
it is important that your injuries are properly understood
and diagnosed, so that you can receive the appropriate treatment
as soon as possible.
You will only have one chance to bring your case to a jury,
and it is important to hire an attorney who knows what they
are doing, who has been there before, and who can help you
achieve the best settlement possible. Call us and let us
be a skilled and compassionate advocate for you as you recover
