Spinal Cord Injury Attorney in Miami, FL

Representation from a Miami Injury Lawyer

Even in the face of serious injury, most victims can be heartened by the fact that a full recovery is achievable and they will be able to resume their lives with minimal discomfort. For some injuries, however, this is sadly not the case. Not every part of the body is able to "bounce back" from trauma, and nowhere is this truer than with spinal cord injuries.

Victims of spinal cord injuries are often faced with greatly altered lifestyles, one that can end prior careers, reduce quality life, and even shorten lifespans. When these serious results are due to another party's negligence, then compensation must be pursued. At Stabinski Law we have seen lives turned upside down by spinal injuries over our four decades of personal injury legal service. We have also witnessed how proper restitution has greatly improved the new reality these victims must face each and every day-compensation we have helped them secure.

Symptoms of a Spinal Injury

Spine injuries are particularly grievous because of the human body's inability to recover function after trauma has been inflicted. This is why it is often that spine injury effects last a lifetime.

Common results of spinal injuries can include:

• Chronic neck and head pain
• Hindrance to various motor functions
• Paralysis
• Reduced senses (like sight, hearing, etc.)
• Premature death

What Types of Accidents Can Cause Paralysis?

Paralysis can result from any type of accident that causes severe nerve or spinal cord damage, leaving a part of the body immobile. Depending on the location of the injury, paralysis can range in severity from temporary loss of sensation to permanent debilitation, often stripping a person of their ability to walk or even speak.

A wide range of accidents can lead to paralyzing injuries, including:

• Car crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Birth injuries
• Work related injuries
• Catastrophic injuries

If you have been paralyzed, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation for your injuries. To determine the specific range of compensation that your situation allows you to recover, it is important that you speak with an experienced legal professional from our firm.

Compensation for Your Injuries, No Matter the Cause

The severity of a spinal cord injury does not mean that it is a rare injury for someone to sustain. In fact, most people who have been hit in a rear-end car accident report feeling some sort of back or neck pain, even if it is only temporary. Spinal cord damage is also common in slip and fall accidents, and may even occur due to a birth injury caused by medical malpractice.

If your claim is successful, you may be able to collect damages for each of the following:

• Pain and suffering
• Loss of income
• Medical expenses
• Loss of earning potential

Ensure the Quality of Your Future Health

Spine injury victims face a difficult journey to maintain independence and quality of life. These injuries can often result in ongoing care, support, and logistical altercations to their living space, adding increased expenses. They do not, however, have to bear the brunt of these expenses on their own if someone else is at fault for their injury.
