Gainesville Spinal Injury Attorneys

Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers in Gainesville, Florida

A spinal cord injury is a sudden injury to the spinal cord, the bundle of nerves running from the base of the head through the spinal column to the base of the spine.  A spinal cord injury may result from numerous things, but statistics report that the majority of spinal cord injuries occur during car accidents, work-related accidents and slip and fall accidents. 

After a person has sustained a spinal cord injury, he/she may develop a variety of physical, mental and/or emotional symptoms.  These symptoms can be life-altering and will likely take time to fully develop.  This means that symptoms can become prevalent days, weeks or even months after the injury initially occurred.  Common spinal cord injury symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• lack of coordination
• numbness in regions of the body
• paralysis
• loss of respiratory function
• loss of digestive system function
• sexual dysfunction
• quadriplegia
• continual pain
• tingling in certain regions of the body
• difficulty breathing or coughing

When a person has sustained a spinal cord injury, it is important that he/she seek immediate medical treatment.  After receiving proper medical care, it is advisable that he/she meet with a Gainesville injury attorney, especially in cases where it is believed that the spinal cord injury resulted from third party negligence.  With help from an experienced injury lawyer, a victim may be able to prove that someone else’s negligence led to his/her spinal cord injury and thus hold that individual legally responsible for their actions.  The victim may then be able to seek monetary compensation for physical, mental and emotional suffering, lost income and medical expenses.
