Spinal Injury / Back Injury
A catastrophic injury such as brain damage or paraplegia and quadriplegia caused by a spinal cord injury leaves a victim changed forever. The usual result of a spinal cord injury is permanent disability. When the accident that caused the injury was the result of negligence or misconduct by another, it is important to talk with a lawyer who is experienced with catastrophic injury claims.

Consulting with experts to add value to a case

They help us demonstrate responsibility for the accident and build a compelling claim. We seek full and fair compensation for medical bills, vocational rehab, lost wages, long-term in-home care and durable medical equipment. Our calculations include expenses such as the cost of remodeling your home to make it accessible to a wheelchair user.
