If you or a loved one has been in an accident and become one of the 12,000 sufferers of spinal cord injuries in the United States this year, then you should contact the McMinn Law Firm today to evaluate your situation.  Whether your injury resulted from an incident at work, a slip and fall, or a car accident, our attorneys understand the trauma you have been through and the importance of your case. 

Spinal cord injuries cause damage to the nerves that carry signals to and from the brain.  As a result, a person may experience a loss of mobility, sensation, or coordination.  Other life-altering physical symptoms may occur, such as chronic pain, breathing difficulty, numbness, sensory loss, respiratory or digestive issues, disfigurement, or paralysis.

Adding to the stress of physical pain, a spinal cord injury victim would also have to deal with the emotional anguish as well as the financial repercussions, like medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.  Another consideration is future medical care, which may be an expensive necessity for many years to come. 

According to Texas law, if you have sustained a spinal cord injury because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation.  No matter how you were injured, if you think another party’s negligence might be to blame, then you should contact an attorney to assess your case.

Motor vehicle accidents, whether they involve trucks, cars, or motorcycles, actually cause a quarter of all spinal cord injuries.  Another quarter of these injuries are caused by work-related accidents.  Others result from falls and sporting or recreational accidents.    

After an incident occurs you should not delay in seeking medical treatment.  If you believe your spinal cord injury was caused by negligence resulting in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or workplace accident, then you should contact an attorney before giving a statement, signing anything, or accepting a settlement.

Allowing the attorneys at the McMinn Law Firm to handle your case will help relieve your stress over addressing your spinal cord injury.  We will gather all of the necessary evidence, communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf, and get you the compensation and future medical care that you deserve.
