Symptoms of Spinal Cord Damage

An accident or medical error that damages the spine can cause varying degrees of lasting damage. Damage is considered to be "complete" if a person loses total functionality and feeling below the point of their injury while having partial function is known as an "incomplete" injury. Regardless, these types of injuries can cause seriously debilitating effects, oftentimes robbing a person of their ability to speak or walk as a result.

Spinal cord injuries can cause the following:

  • Loss of movement
  • Loss of sensation
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Loss of sexual function
  • Reflex spasms
  • Intense, stinging pain

Damage Following an Accident

If you were injured in an accident, you most likely visited a doctor or hospital for treatment. We all rely on our medical professionals to accurately diagnose and treat medical issues. Unfortunately, some medical practitioners can fail to properly detect conditions that can affect the spine. If left untreated, these injuries often worsen and cause additional damage over time.

Spinal cord damage can occur from the mistreatment of injuries resulting from:

FAQ: Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Weston

1. What should I do if I suspect my spinal cord injury was caused by medical malpractice?
If you suspect that your spinal cord injury was the result of medical malpractice, the first step is to contact an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer. 

2. How can a lawyer help me after a spinal cord injury?
A skilled spinal cord injury lawyer can help you navigate the complex legal process, gather crucial evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our firm is committed to fighting for your rights and will work tirelessly to maximize your potential recovery.

3. What types of accidents can cause spinal cord injuries?
Spinal cord injuries can occur from a variety of accidents, including:

  • Construction accidents
  • Car and motorcycle accidents (e.g., whiplash)
  • Boating and maritime accidents
  • Medical malpractice (improper diagnosis or treatment)
  • Slip and fall accidents

If you were injured in any of these situations and believe your injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us to discuss your case.

4. What are the symptoms of a spinal cord injury?
Spinal cord injuries can vary depending on the location and severity of the damage. Common symptoms include:

  • Loss of movement or sensation
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Loss of sexual function
  • Reflex spasms or involuntary movements
  • Intense, stinging pain
  • Complete or incomplete paralysis (loss of function below the injury site)

If you experience any of these symptoms following an accident or medical treatment, it’s essential to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

5. What is the difference between a "complete" and "incomplete" spinal cord injury?
A complete spinal cord injury results in total loss of function and sensation below the injury site. An incomplete spinal cord injury means that some function or sensation is still present below the injury, but it may be severely limited. Both types of injuries can be debilitating and life-changing, and it's important to consult with a lawyer to understand your rights and potential compensation.

6. How do I know if I have a case for spinal cord injury compensation?
If your spinal cord injury was caused by the negligence of another party—whether through a car accident, workplace accident, medical error, or another form of malpractice—you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Our Weston spinal cord injury lawyer will thoroughly review the details of your case, including medical records and accident reports, to determine whether you have a strong claim for compensation.

7. How long do I have to file a spinal cord injury claim?
In Florida, personal injury claims, including those for spinal cord injuries, are subject to a statute of limitations. Generally, you have four years from the date of the accident or injury to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions, especially in cases involving medical malpractice. It’s important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed within the appropriate time frame.

8. What types of compensation can I receive for a spinal cord injury?
Compensation for a spinal cord injury can cover a wide range of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Home modifications and specialized equipment
  • Cost of long-term care or rehabilitation

Our firm works with medical experts, rehabilitation professionals, and economists to help calculate the full extent of your damages and ensure that you are compensated for both immediate and long-term needs.

    "I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."
    From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.

    "Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."
    I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.
