Spinal Injuries

The statistics regarding spinal injuries are extraordinary: over 200,000 people in the U.S. have a disability related to a spinal cord injury (often involving some degree of paralysis), with nearly 11,000 new spinal cord injuries every year. Many more people every year injure the bones of the spine itself, the vertebrae. The leading cause of such injuries is automobile accidents.

Spinal injuries can range from whiplash injuries (rapid acceleration-deceleration often caused by automobile cases), ruptured or herniated discs of the vertebrae, to direct injuries to the spinal cord itself. Each type of injury can have severe and permanent effects, and being fully and fairly compensated is critical to you and your family.

If you have a spinal injury, it is vitally important that you consult with the appropriate medical professionals, so that your injuries will be properly documented in case you need to present such evidence to a jury. In addition, it is important that your injuries are properly understood and diagnosed, so that you can receive the appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
