You’re facing the possibility of lifelong debilitation, of losing the ability to perform daily tasks – not to mention, your former job duties.

Our attorneys understand what your needs are and can help you find ways to meet them.
We can provide you with everything you need to validate your injury claim and ease your financial burden. We will cover all the upfront costs, while we go to work building the strongest case possible.

You can focus on recovery while all complex matters are handled by attorneys who are experienced in handling spinal cord injury cases.
While different circumstances call for different approaches, the consistent element in each and every spinal injury case is liability. To put it in simpler terms, you must be able to determine who is responsible for your injury AND present evidence that supports your assertion in order to have a successful claim. A qualified medical malpractice attorney can help.
For instance, if you sustained your injury in a car accident, your attorney should investigate the crash site and analyze medical and police reports, witness statements, expert testimony, and other key pieces of evidence to prove liability. If a defective product caused your injury, your product defect attorney must show that the defect exists and is behind your injury.
However, if you were injured at your workplace, then you and your attorney may file a workers’ compensation claim to get coverage for medical bills and lost wages. If a third party was involved, you may collect additional damages through a lawsuit against them.
Our attorneys can help determine the best path for you and tailor a legal strategy to get the best possible results.
