Helping Florida Accident Victims Suffering From a Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury can change life in an instant. The effects of a spinal cord injury can range anywhere from limited mobility and temporary pain, to bladder problems and permanent paralysis. While such physical limitations can be devastating enough, a spinal cord injury can also result in financial challenges, such as lost wages and lost earning capacity, accumulation of medical bills and much more.
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident, motorcycle accident or any other accident involving someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. At The Law Offices of Jason S. Goodman, P.A., in Coral Springs, Florida, we are dedicated to helping accident victims throughout Florida secure much needed justice.
Demonstrating How Your Spinal Cord Injury Has Changed Your Life
At The Law Offices of Jason S. Goodman P.A., we recognize that a catastrophic injury, such as a spinal cord injury affects not only the accident victim, but also his or her family. We work closely with clients to truly understand the physical, emotional and financial impact caused by the injury. Our law firm works relentlessly to secure the maximum compensation to which our clients are entitled for their injuries and suffering.
Due to the vulnerability of the spinal cord, when a vertebra severs, pinches, compresses or causes other spinal cord trauma, the spinal cord injury can result in paralysis. The extent of paralysis varies significantly depending on the location of the injury, if the injury was complete or incomplete and various other factors:
- Paraplegia occurs when the individual suffers a spinal cord injury in the mid- to lower-spine and results in paralysis to the lower extremities. Individuals suffering from paraplegia will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives and must deal with physical limitations related to their lost mobility.
- Quadriplegia/tetraplegia occurs when the individual suffers a spinal cord injury in the neck and results in paralysis to lower extremities and upper extremities. An individual suffering from quadriplegia/tetraplegia will be confined to a wheelchair and will deal with significant physical limitations depending on the extent of lost mobility. While many people suffering from quadriplegia will have no mobility in their upper extremities, other quadriplegics will have limited mobility in their arms, hands and upper torso.
Our law firm understands the anger and frustration that many people experience in the aftermath of a car accident or other accident that has resulted in the spinal cord injury. Regardless of the extent of your spinal cord injury, our law firm is equipped to pursue the compensation you will need to deal with the effects of your injuries. We work to recover the compensation you will need to deal with lost income, loss of earning potential, current and future medical expenses, care attendant needs, accommodations to your home and vehicle and much more.
