Tampa Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

The spinal cord acts as a pathway for sensory information between the body and the brain. It plays a crucial role in carrying out the functions of everyday life, so life can be very difficult for victims of spinal injuries.

While slip-and-fall accidents can cause spinal cord damage, automobile accidents are the leading cause of Tampa spine injuries. These accidents can result in permanent and devastating injuries, including displaced vertebrae and blood clots. In extreme cases, this trauma leads to a partial or complete severing of the spinal cord.

The spine is extremely delicate, so the cost of an injury is very high financially, physically, and emotionally. It’s crucial for spinal cord injury victims to understand their options.

Whether your spinal cord injury resulted from a Tampa car accident or other circumstance, you can take legal action and pursue compensation from the person or company that failed to fulfill its safety obligations.
