We have experience handling a wide variety of spinal cord injury cases including:

Paraplegia — a spinal cord injury occurring in either the lumbar, sacral or thoracic regions which results in motor or sensory impairment of the lower extremities.

Quadriplegia — is paralysis resulting in partial or total loss of limb and torso function from a spinal cord injury, usually in the upper vertebrae. Motor and sensory function are also lost, which means both control and feeling are no longer capable as well.

Both of these injuries require extensive medical care immediately, as well as extended care, rehabilitation, and a total readjustment in how daily life activities are accomplished. It is essential for your workers' comp benefits to encompass both your immediate and long-term medical and care needs.

We will handle your entire workers' compensation claim for from first filing until all appeals are exhausted, if necessary.
