Spinal Cord and Head Injury

The first thing I tell clients is to "Don’t sign anything before talking to an experienced brain and spinal cord injury attorney" to determine an appropriate course of action.

Accidents – on the job site, on the playground, car, truck or motorcycle accidents – can happen anywhere, and they can cause serious head or spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or paralysis. All it takes is one horrible moment in your life – or the life of a loved one – to be forever and traumatically changed.

When most people picture traumatic brain injuries, or closed head injuries, they think of severely brain damaged people in a vegetative state. More common are mild traumatic brain injuries, which cause a variety of symptoms. These injuries do not always present outward symptoms and are more difficult to prove. Some issues common with mild traumatic brain injury victims include:

If you find that you have a "sharp" pain running into one of your legs or one of your arms; perhaps your toe or one of your fingers is numb; or you feel that your finger or toe is constantly "swollen" - you may have a serious spinal cord injury.  If you find yourself "grabbing" and squeezing your finger - you may have a cervical injury requiring surgery and possibly a cervical fusion.  If you find it painful to stand up because of pain in your back you may have a lumbar injury (lower back injury).

If the injury has long-term consequences and was caused by the carelessness — or negligence — of another, you may have a claim. Aside from recovering the costs of your medical care, you may have the right to recover loss of wages, loss of consortium, pain and suffering — and any other expenses that result from your injury.
