SPINAL INJURY – THE PROCESS STARTS IMMEDIATELY
Since serious spinal cord injuries are so incapacitating and their efforts can be so wide-ranging, you need a knowledgeable attorney to assist you with every aspect of your case. The attorneys at Cannella & O’Neal will work with your doctors and rehabilitation team to completely investigate and document your extensive physical and emotional losses. Additionally, our attorneys know how to develop and present medical opinions, as well as any other testimony that will be necessary to demonstrate to a jury (or an insurance company) the nature of your spinal cord injury, the cost of your past and future medical treatment, the overall extent of your permanent disabilities, and how the injury will reduce your future ability to earn a living. These are all part of the damages in your case.
Cannella and O’Neal — Your Guide
It seems like many of the most serious spinal injury cases we deal with involve tractor trailer cases and motorcycle accidents. In tractor trailer cases, the force of impact from an 80,000 pound tractor trailer can cause devastating injuries to the occupants of a small car or SUV. We have seen several cases involving spinal fractures and multiple herniated discs which require surgical intervention and placement of spinal support rods. In the case of motorcycle accidents, we often see bikers who have hit the pavement with such force and violence that they suffer multiple serious injuries beyond spinal injuries. Multiple injuries that we have seen in motorcycle cases include leg fractures, shoulder injuries, concussions, minor traumatic brain injuries and scarring. All of this takes coordination of care and effort to get you the justice you deserve.
