Orlando Spine Injury Lawyer
A spinal injury can change your life in an instant, leading to chronic pain, paralysis, and loss of independence. These injuries often require long-term care, rehabilitation, and major lifestyle adjustments. If your spinal injury was caused by an accident or someone else’s negligence, an experienced Orlando spine and spinal cord injury lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you pursue justice and compensation for your losses.
Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord serves as the main communication line between the brain and body. Any damage to this vital structure can result in partial or total loss of movement and sensation. Spinal injuries are common after car accidents, falls, or sports incidents, but they can also occur from medical errors or unsafe property conditions. Spencer Morgan Law represents clients throughout Orlando who have suffered serious back and spinal trauma due to negligence.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
- Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents
- Slip, trip, and fall incidents
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Sports or recreational injuries
- Defective products or unsafe equipment
- Medical malpractice during surgery or injections
Our firm investigates every case carefully, identifying the cause of the injury and all potentially responsible parties.
Steps to Take After a Spinal Injury
- Seek emergency medical care and follow all treatment recommendations.
