A devastating spinal cord injury can render a once-vibrant active and active person permanently disabled. Whether it’s damage to the lower vertebrae, a slipped disc, or paralysis, a spinal cord injury can make it impossible for you to work, care for your family, or even care for yourself without assistance. When a spinal cord injury is caused by the negligence of another person or party, then you may have grounds to file a suit for compensatory damages against them. The material cost of treating a spinal cord injury and all related losses can easily total up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our skilled Tampa, FL spinal cord injury lawyer at Mickey Keenan P.A can help you get your deserved compensation.
Often, it’s not just the victim who suffers. If you are permanently disabled or unable to work, it can change the whole family dynamic. One person may be thrust into a caregiver role, which they may be ill-equipped for. Your family may also have serious financial burdens, too, especially if you were the primary earner. You have rights, including the right to demand full compensation for all your losses after the accident. We understand how stressful life can get following a spinal cord cord injury. We offer a fee guarantee, meaning no money comes out of your pocket and we don’t get paid unless you do. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.
What Does A Tampa Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Do?
If your spinal cord injury was due to the negligence of another person (such as a reckless driver or someone careless in the workplace) or party (such as a safety gear or sporting goods manufacturer), then you may be able to file a suit for negligence. Spinal cord injury attorneys are civil litigators who represent the interests of people who were harmed due to the negligence of another. Although the at-fault party’s insurance company may offer you a settlement, they may not, either, and a civil suit is the only means of securing the compensation.
Many spinal cord injury victims face significant hurdles to recovery. You may need one or more surgeries and months of physical and occupational therapy to regain your abilities. If you are unable to walk again, you may require extensive modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate your new disability. All of these cost money, and a spinal cord injury settlement can cover these costs.
We properly value your claim, using our years of experience handling these complex legal matters. We also engage the services of medical experts, who can testify about your care requirements and economists who can calculate your loss of earning power and the overall financial impact of the injury on your life. Our team handles all the matters relating to your claim, including communicating with the other party so that you can rest and recover with less stress.
Capable Legal Support For Spinal Cord Injury Victims

Our skilled Tampa spinal cord injury attorney can build a case of negligence from the at-fault party, building a case of negligence against them and negotiating a settlement out of court. Or, if we are unable to secure a fair settlement out of court, we’re prepared to take your case to trial. We have 80 years of combined experience.
