If you are entitled to just compensation, we can help, and we will do everything we can to secure maximum compensation on your behalf.

Common Back and Spinal Cord Injuries in Traumatic Accidents

We represent accident victims who have suffered all types of back and spinal cord injuries in Tallahassee. This includes (but is not limited to) common injuries such as:

Chronic Back Pain

Many accident victims suffer from chronic back pain. After a serious accident, back pain can be symptomatic of a variety of injuries—not only in the back, but in other parts of the body as well. Chronic back pain can persist for months or years; and, in some cases, it can persist for the rest of accident victims’ lives. As a result, it is critical to ensure that you have the financial resources you need to manage your back pain now and in the future.

Herniated Discs (Slipped Discs)

Herniated discs (also commonly referred to as slipped discs) are extremely common injuries in vehicle collisions, falls and other traumatic accidents. While herniated discs are treatable, treatment can be expensive, and accident victims may need to take weeks or months off from work during the recovery process.

Nerve Damage

The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs the entire length of the back. There are other nerves running throughout the back as well. In traumatic accidents, these nerves can become pinched, torn or severed, and these injuries can have effects ranging from pain to paralysis.

Soft Tissue Damage

Soft tissue damage is common in all types of traumatic accidents as well. The back has multiple muscles, ligaments and tendons that are all prone to injury in the event of a collision or fall. While soft tissue damage will heal with rest in many cases, serious injuries may require more proactive forms of treatment, including surgery.

Vertebrae Fractures

Vertebrae fractures are a risk for victims of all types of serious accidents. While vertebrae fractures can be painful and debilitating on their own, they will often be accompanied by herniated discs, nerve damage, soft tissue damage, and other back and spinal cord injuries. As a result, a comprehensive diagnosis is essential, and accident victims who suffer vertebrae fractures will need to work with an experienced Tallahassee injury attorney who can help make sure that all of their costs are covered.

When Can You Seek Financial Compensation for a Back or Spinal Cord Injury?

When can you seek financial compensation for a back or spinal cord injury? If you were injured in any type of accident in which you believe that someone else (or a company) may have been to blame, you should talk to a Tallahassee injury attorney about your legal rights. At Searcy Denney, we handle all types of serious accident cases, including:

• Boating Accidents – Boats move unpredictably; and, unfortunately, some captains aren’t as safe as they should be. As a result, boating accidents are common in Florida, and many of these accidents result in serious back and spinal cord injuries.
• Car Accidents – The forces involved in a car accident are more than enough to cause serious damage to the vertebrae, discs, nerves and soft tissue in the back and spine. As a result, many car accident victims find themselves forced to cope with the financial and non-financial effects of these injuries.
• Truck Accidents – Truck accidents present similar risks and concerns. If you suffered a back or spinal cord accident in a truck accident in Tallahassee, our attorneys can fight to hold the trucking company (or other at-fault party) fully accountable.
• Product Defects – From collisions and falls to fires and explosions, product defects can (and do) cause many types of serious accidents. If your back or spinal cord injury is the result of a product failure, our attorneys can assist you in this scenario as well.
• Slip and Falls – Many people suffer back and spinal cord injuries in slip and falls. While falling onto your back or bottom is most likely to result in back trauma, falling in just about any position can leave you suffering from chronic back pain and other effects.
• Swimming Pool Accidents – Swimming pool accidents can be extremely dangerous. From slipping on a wet pool deck to diving into shallow water, numerous risks can (and do) lead to life-altering back and spinal cord injuries.
• Other Serious Accidents – Along with the types of accidents listed above, we handle cases involving all other types of serious accidents resulting in back and spinal cord injuries as well. No matter what happened, if you are entitled to just compensation, our attorneys can help you fight to win the compensation you deserve.
