Brain & Spinal Injuries

Spinal Injuries

Each year, thousands of new spinal cord injuries are sustained by individuals. Many of these injuries occur to individuals in the prime of their life, severely limiting their ability to work. As a result, an individual may not be able to continue earning a living and experiencing their pre-accident lifestyle. Thousands of spinal cord injuries occur in automobile, trucking, motorcycle, and slip and fall accidents each year.

Symptoms of spinal cord damage may include pain, numbness, tingling, lack of coordination, and diminished bladder control. Any trauma that causes the spinal cord to be compressed, cut or misdirected may cause spinal cord injury.

Each spinal cord injury case has characteristics that make it unique. Our law firm has handled numerous cases involving spinal cord injuries and has significant experience in documenting injuries to the cervical and lumbar discs. We are aware of the types of experts needed to demonstrate the devastating effects of these injuries.

Brain Injuries

More than any other injury, brain injuries have the greatest potential to alter the lives of afflicted individuals and their families. People affected by even mild brain injuries often suffer memory loss or amnesia, altered emotions, and tainted personalities.

Despite the presentation of memory lapses, emotional changes and lost memories, it is increasingly difficult to prove the long-term effects of a brain injury. Our extensive experience handling brain injury cases has put us in a unique position to identify and prove the life changing difficulties that clients and families will face in the future. Many brain injury victims are injured because of anothers negligence, as can be the case in motor vehicle accidents, falls, violent attacks, recreational activities, and sports injuries.
