According to the University of Alabama National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, approximately 262,000 Americans are living with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
Of these, 52% are considered paraplegic and 47% are quadriplegic. Severe spinal cord injuries can be devastating to cope with, for both the victim and their loved ones.
Spinal cord injuries caused by car accidents, motorcycle accidents or other accidents can impact the victim’s ability to socialize, work or pay for medical treatment.
If you or a loved one have suffered a spinal cord injury and you want to hold the at-fault parties responsible, our dedicated lawyers may be able to help you file a lawsuit.
We believe that the costs associated with hiring a lawyer shouldn’t prevent any spinal cord injury victim from obtaining sound legal counsel. Because of this, our law firm handles all spinal cord injury claims on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no out of pocket expenses and you only owe attorney’s fees if we settle your claim or win a favorable verdict in court.
Outside of the physical and emotional damage to the victim and their family, spinal cord injuries are also one of the most expensive in terms of medical care required.
Paraplegics – (Age of Injury: 25)
Quadriplegics – (Age of Injury: 25)
These costs do not account for lost quality of life, loss of wages, or pain and suffering as a result of the injury.
The statistics show that 63% of all SCI victims are unemployed eight years after their injury.
