PARADISE SPINE INJURY ATTORNEY

Spine Injury Accidents

If you or a loved one is dealing with the devastating effects of a spine injury, you know how difficult it is to get the medical care and treatment you need. While residents of Paradise benefit from the variety of services available locally, the costs associated with obtaining this level of care can be exorbitant. Spine injuries often occur as the result of accidents or due to the reckless and negligent actions of another. When these injuries happen, our Paradise injury attorneys are here to help you get the compensation you need.

According to the Mayo Clinic, spinal injuries occur as the result of damage to the ligaments, discs, and vertebrae in the spinal column, or to the spinal cord itself. Impacts are severe, requiring ongoing medical care and causing permanent disabilities. At Naqvi Injury Law, we represent people who have suffered spinal injuries due to the following causes:

• Motor vehicle accidents: Car crashes and collisions can result in damage to the spine that is severe and life threatening. These injuries threaten drivers and their passengers, as well as pedestrians and cyclists.
• Falls: Spine injuries can occur due to falls from heights, either at work, home, or in public places, as well as from slip and fall accidents due to wet floors and uneven surfaces.
• Sports and recreational activities: Young people and adults are both at risk for spine injuries due to group sports activities such as football and soccer, as well as from recreational pursuits, such as skiing, diving, or bicycling.
• Acts of violence: Violent assaults and attacks, such as being hit or struck by a heavy object and gun accidents, account for nearly 15 percent of all spine injuries.
• Medical errors and mistakes: Surgical procedures gone wrong can result in serious spine injuries, as can negligence on the part of hospital or nursing home staff in providing for patient safety and protection against falls.
