of experience fighting for injured clients
A complete SCI is the most serious injury. Damage to the spinal cord is permanent and can cause paralysis below the waist (paraplegia) or in the upper and lower part of the body (tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia).
Incomplete SCIs account for more than 60% of spinal cord injuries. In an incomplete SCI, the spinal cord suffers from partial damage, which can result in restriction of sensation, movement, or both. Paralysis in one arm and both legs is known as triplegia and may be considered an incomplete SCI.
Injury to the head and/or neck area of the spine.
Injury to the abdominal region, and/or back and upper chest locations of the spine.
Injury to the hip and/or lower back area of the spine.
Injury to the spine near the buttocks, thighs, and/or pelvic region.
Time is of the essence after you’ve sustained a spinal cord injury. The process can be complicated and insurance companies don’t always act in your best interest, so you’ll want an experienced personal injury attorney on your side as soon as possible. Call us today if you or a family member has suffered a spinal cord injury.
The amount awarded in a spinal cord injury case depends on the type of damage sustained, location of the injury, how it occurred, and how much insurance coverage is available. Every case is unique, and it takes an experienced attorney to know how to proceed with a claim for damages, which may include compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. Our free case evaluation can help determine the expected worth of your case.
You don’t pay any legal fees until we win or settle your case. We review your spinal cord injury case for free, and there is no deposit or advance fee required. When a settlement or verdict is reached, then our legal fee is calculated at a percentage (usually one-third) of the total amount awarded. This is called a contingent fee agreement, which is how most personal injury lawyers are paid. Call Steve Boyd, PC, for a free consultation.
