Spinal Cord Injury Attorney, Fort Worth-Dallas Texas

Spinal cord injuries are different from many other types of injuries suffered in personal injury cases because the future medical expenses for such persons, who are often afflicted with paralysis and /or quadriplegia will be large when calculated to cover a lifetime. Additionally, victims of spinal cord injury often face medical complications that can increase their medical costs and lead to life threatening conditions. The attorneys at Jones Geisler work closely with economists and life care planners when projecting costs associated with a spinal cord injury over the lifetime of a patient. Jones Geisler also takes into consideration the loss in quality of life, presenting jurors with "before" and "after" pictures and video chronicles of how a spinal cord injury has impacted an injury victim and their family.

Kinds of Spinal Cord Injury

As experienced spinal cord injury lawyers at the law firm of Jones Geisler, LLP in Dallas, Texas, they appreciate the nature of these injuries and understand the impact they have on the lives of their victims and families. Spinal cord injury results from direct, external physical harm or indirect harm to the spinal column, back or neck. Direct external harm can involve a severed cord, crushed cord, compression injuries, or vertebral dislocation/fracture; indirect harm typically involves compression resulting from adjacent hemorrhage, disturbance in blood supply resulting in infarction, or hemorrhagic applied pressure. Whatever the mechanism of injury, the result is usually paraplegia or quadriplegia.

Paraplegia and Paralysis

Paraplegia results from injury or insult to the thoracic, lumbar or sacral areas of the spinal cord. Survivors with paraplegia generally lose physical and sensory capability (movement and feeling) in lower areas of the body (typically waist and lower). Quadriplegia results from injury or insult to the cervical area of the spinal cord. Survivors with quadriplegia generally lose physical and sensory capability (movement and feeling) in both upper and lower areas of the body. Impairment extends to all four limbs.

Spinal cord injuries can result from a number of tragedies, including motor vehicle collisions, medical negligence, slip and falls, construction accidents, disease, excessive force, sports accidents, and other causes. Because the damages are catastrophic and potentially life threatening, it is important that a plaintiff's lawyer be familiar with these injuries and the impact they have on the lives of their victims and families. The lawyers at Jones Geisler, LLP, recognize the importance of ensuring that a spinal cord injury client is compensated enough to ensure that the client's future medical needs are met.
