Suing for Spinal Cord Injuries in Tallahassee, FL
In many instances, a devastating spinal cord injury occurs as a result of someone else’s careless behavior. State law in Florida allows victims injured by negligence to hold the at-fault person or party legally accountable and seek financial compensation for their injuries with the help of experienced spine injury attorneys in Tallahassee, FL.
The Impact of a Spinal Cord Injury
Damage to the spinal cord is generally considered a catastrophic injury. This damage can cause injury to the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spinal nerves.
Where, how, and how extensively the nerves of the spinal cord are damaged determines how the injury will affect your body and your life more broadly.
Common results of spinal cord damage include:
- Partial or incomplete loss of motor function, control, and sensation
- Hemiplegia, which refers to weakness of one side of the body
- Paraplegia, or paralysis of the lower body and legs only
- Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia or paralysis of all four limbs
- Loss of control of breathing, bladder, and bowels
A spinal cord injury leads to considerable physical pain and loss of function, as well as emotional distress. The financial impact of a spinal cord injury is massive, including extensive medical costs and potentially a lifetime of lost wages. At Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney, & Hobbs P.A., our Tallahassee spinal cord injury lawyers fight to secure clients compensation that covers all of these losses.
The Process of Seeking Compensation
