Tucson Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
After a serious spinal cord injury, nothing is ever the same.
Depending on the location and severity of the injury to the spinal cord, you can suffer paralysis from the waist down (paraplegia) or the neck down (quadriplegia). You may be unable to do the work or enjoy the recreational activities you once did.
Some spinal cord injury victims live independently; others spend the rest of their lives in long-term care facilities. The lifetime costs of living with a spinal cord injury can run into the millions of dollars.
At Kinerk, Beal, Schmidt, Dyer & Sethi, our attorneys represent clients who have suffered spinal cord injuries due to the negligence or carelessness of others. We consult with respected medical experts and life care planners to project the future costs of living with the injury. Then we pursue financial compensation for all of the damages.
