Miami Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Spinal cord injuries can be catastrophic and may stem from various accidents, like car and motorcycle accidents, workplace incidents, and slip and falls.

A Miami Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer at Our Firm Fights to Get You Compensation

After an accident, medical bills pile up while your typical household expenses continue to accrue. Your future might look uncertain if you cannot work due to a spinal cord injury. However, you might have a right to go after compensation for these and other losses.

Recoverable Economic Losses After a Spinal Cord Injury

When we evaluate your case, we can look at your medical records, bills, doctor statements, previous earnings, and other areas where your injury has had a financial impact. Some of the things we might request compensation for can include the following:

• Ambulance or additional medical transportation costs
• Medical procedures, such as surgeries
• Follow-up treatment
• Physical or occupational therapy
• Medications and medical devices
• Home health care
• Home modifications, such as constructing a wheelchair ramp
• Vehicle repair or replacement
• Lost income
• Loss of future earning capacity

Any expense that involves the effects of your injury might be under this category of losses.

Recoverable Non-Economic Losses for a Spinal Cord Injury

This compensation category involves non-tangible losses that don’t have a definitive price tag but create significant emotional turmoil. Areas of this type of compensation can include:

• Loss of consortium or a change in relationship status
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of life enjoyment and lower quality of life
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Paralysis, partial or complete
• Loss of a limb
• Mental anguish

The effect these losses have on you can ultimately lead to greater financial hardship and slow your ability to recover from your injury.

Losing a Family Member After a Spinal Cord Injury

When your family loses a loved one, our team can fight to obtain compensation in some of the following areas:

• Funeral, cremation, and burial expenses
• Final medical costs for attempted life-saving measures
• Lost financial support
• Loss of consortium

Only certain members of the family are permitted to seek compensation. Consulting with a wrongful death attorney from our team can be beneficial in understanding your options.

Why the Statute of Limitations Should Matter to You

Spinal cord injuries may fall under different legal classifications, so we can only state your specific timeline once we evaluate your case. Florida maintains a statute of limitations based on the type of lawsuit filed, which can be one of the following:

• Per Florida Statutes § 95.11, you usually have two years from the date of injury to file apersonal injury lawsuit.
• You generally must file a wrongful death lawsuit before two years elapse from the date of death.
• With most medical malpractice cases, you must start a lawsuit within two years.

Due to the complex statute of limitations and ensuring that your lawsuit remains on track and on time, hiring our spinal cord injury lawyer in Miami, FL, can be helpful.

Spinal cord injuries happen in many situations, including:
