Raleigh Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

Call (919) 335-7005 If You Suffered a Spine Injury or Paralysis

Many serious accidents involving blunt force, falls, or high-speed collisions can result in spine trauma. Injuries to the spinal cord caused by compression or fractures of the vertebrae often result in paralysis. Prompt and effective treatment is absolutely essential to lessen the risk of further damage to the spinal cord and the resulting loss of sensation and motion in the limbs.

Due to the severe nature of spine injuries, victims may be facing a lifetime of medical care. Our Raleigh spinal cord injury attorneys understand what is at stake and use our resources, reputation, and skill to fight for the highest possible settlements and awards to cover the full cost of our clients’ treatment, for life if necessary.

Edwards Kirby is skilled in establishing proof of liability and damages in cases involving:

Motor vehicle accidents, including truck accidents
Falls from heights at work or in structurally unsound buildings
Misdiagnosis or failure to treat infections and illnesses that attack the central nervous system
Gunshot wounds in places subject to security or surveillance services
Swimming and diving accidents

If you or a loved one suffered a spinal cord injury in any type of accident, now is the time to act. Call (919) 335-7005 for a free consultation.

Long-Term Costs of Spinal Cord Injuries

The recovery of maximum compensation is essential in spinal cord injury claims. A person with complete quadriplegia may expect to face over $1 million in healthcare costs and living expenses, just in the first year after injury.

A lifetime of care, if the person is 25 years old at the time of injury, may add up to $4.7 million. A person with incomplete motor function, at any level, may face $1.1 to $1.6 million in lifetime healthcare costs and living expenses. These figures do not include additional losses, such as lost earnings, emotional trauma, and more.

Edwards Kirby recovered $6,000,000 for a child suffer who suffered paralysis from an injury at a recreation center.
