We offer hope to these clients.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

A spine injury or spinal cord injury can occur from various types of back and neck trauma — a car accident, a rollover accident, or any other serious accident which causes excessive force on the back or neck. We are experienced and knowledgeable in various types of spine injuries resulting from these accidents:

• Herniation of the cervical spine
• Vertebra fractures
• Pinched vertebra
• Complete or partially severed spinal cord
• Bruised spinal cord

Every injury is unique. However, people with spinal cord injuries are generally classified into two categories. Paraplegics (people suffering from paraplegia) generally have lost function in their lower extremities as a result of lower spinal cord damage. Quadriplegics (people suffering from quadriplegia) generally have lost function in their lower extremities as well as upper extremities. People suffering from quadriplegia may be paralyzed from the neck down or may have limited function in their arms or hands.

Recovering Compensation

Our law firm uses extensive resources to truly depict the extent of your injury to the insurance company or jury. We show how the accident has affected your life and the life of your family. This real life depiction enables us to maximize compensation on your behalf.
