How We Can Help After A Spinal Cord Injury in Florida

You may feel tremendous physical pain from your injuries, or they could have left you with diminished touch sensation and limited mobility from paralysis. A spinal cord injury can be life-changing in many ways. Our experienced injury attorneys can help you overcome the frustration and uncertainty that surrounds these injuries.

Hiring an attorney is a major decision, and for a spinal cord injury claim, you need one with the experience and resources necessary to navigate you to a satisfactory result.

Who Is Liable for My Spine Injury?

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.

For instance, if you sustained your injury in a Florida 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 in Florida 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.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injury occurs when any part of the spinal cord or nerves in the spinal canal are damaged. A spinal cord injury can be caused by any number of factors, including:

  • Auto accidents
  • Slip and fall incidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Faulty products or equipment
  • Boating accidents
  • Physical assaults

There are two major types of spinal cord injury; complete and incomplete. A complete spinal cord injury causes permanent damage to the spinal cord and often results in paraplegia, tetraplegia or quadriplegia (depending on where the injury occurs). An incomplete spinal cord injury occurs when there is partial damage to the cord. In cases of incomplete injury, victims may retain movement ability, feeling and, sensation. Whether or not they are able to make a complete recovery depends on the severity of the injury and the person’s health.
