Spinal Cord Injury

Tampa Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

A spinal cord injury victim often has already been permanently damaged by partial paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia before arriving in the emergency room. After an evaluation of the victim's condition and appropriate emergency treatment, therapy and rehabilitation will begin. Besides the shock and grief of loss, the victim and his or her family will face a new set of challenges, expenses and concerns

Contact a lawyer at the law firm of Winters & Yonker, PA, in Tampa, Florida, to schedule a free initial consultation. Discuss your legal options after a crash or fall causes serious injury.

Paraplegia or Quadriplegia is for Life

The lifetime costs of round-the-clock care for spinal cord injury victims are tremendously high. A victim may require a ventilator at home for life. Even with state-of-the-art medical and nursing care, spinal cord victims are likely to have shortened life spans as did Christopher Reeve, who died at the age of 52, just ten years after he was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident.
