Brain and Spinal Injuries — Strokes — Medication, Anesthesia and Surgical Errors
The most common causes of paralysis are:
- Trauma resulting from impact — such as injuries to the brain or spinal cord in a car or other vehicle accident, fall or workplace accident
- Stroke — which may be traumatic and impact-related as well, or a result of medical errors such as administering the wrong dosage of medication or anesthesia
Over the course of many decades in personal injury practice, our dedicated lawyers have handled many brain injury, spinal cord injury and medical malpractice cases — including several on behalf of paralysis victims. Such cases not only can require extraordinary diligence to prove liability; they also call for an extensive, thorough effort to substantiate the lifelong costs and total impact of the injury.
Diligent and Well Connected for Projecting Lifelong Costs of Care
We know that a paralysis victim may not only be unable work, but may require long-term, full-time care by a spouse, nurse, or others. When targeting a claim value and preparing the case for a possible trial, we often work with:
- Physicians and other medical specialists qualified to substantiate the diagnosis and prognosis
- Life care planners and economists capable of presenting clear, compelling projections of medical costs and living expenses well into the future
- Experts in vocational rehabilitation and physical therapy
Our case successes include an $850,000 settlement for a man who suffered a traumatic stroke and partial paralysis after an ATV accident — as well as major recoveries for many spinal cord injury and medical malpractice victims.
