Spinal Cord Injury Attorney in Kissimmee

Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries, according to National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, include:

• Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents;
• Medical error;
• Defective products;
• Workplace Injuries;
• Recreational activities; and
• Slip and falls.

Spinal cord injuries have a devastating impact on the lives of victims, ranging from pain, weakness, and incontinence to loss of sensation, paralysis, and ruptured discs. These symptoms may be alleviated by spinal surgery. In the most severe cases, where the spinal cord is completely severed, paraplegia or tetraplegia can occur, according to Mayo Clinic.

Technology is currently unable to repair a severed spine, though medical science is slowly getting closer to a solution. Regardless of whether the spinal cord injury is moderate to severe, the medical bills can be overwhelming, and loss of income and earning potential can create serious financial hardships for your family. That’s why it is so important to consult with an experienced attorney in Kissimmee who will fight to try and recover fair compensation for your losses.

Economic: You may be able to receive damages for your current and future medical bills and loss of income during recovery if you are the victim of spinal cord injury. If your injuries are severe enough that you are no longer able to work, you may also receive damages for loss of earning capacity.
