The spinal cord is an extremely important and highly fragile part of the human anatomy. It helps us stand upright and protects our vital nerve centers and blood vessels to help the brain and heart connect with the rest of the body. When the spinal cord is damaged, most victims suffer from a lot more than a sore back. If you or a loved one has suffered from a spinal column injury, please call our offices today and schedule a consultation with a top Miami injury attorney.

Spinal injuries can lead to very serious consequences, particularly when nerves or blood vessels in the spinal cord are damaged. Even injuries as minor as an inflamed disc can cause serious pain and numbness when the disc puts pressure on nerves in the spinal column. More serious injuries can often result in paralysis, long-term pain problems, and permanent weakness or numbness in the lower body. Many of these problems require the victim spend the rest of his or her life in a wheel chair while using pain medications on a daily basis. If you are injured in this manner, you have probably already noticed the massive medical bills piling up thanks to the treatment your injury has required. All these factors and more show just how important it is for spinal injury victims to contact a skilled Miami injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Back injuries can often leave you out of work for weeks, months, even a lifetime. Your Miami injury attorney can ensure you receive compensation that will cover your medical expenses, pain, lost wages, emotional anguish, decreased quality of life, decreased mobility, and more.

If you or a loved one has experienced a traumatic spinal injury, please call The Law Offices of Gilbert and Smallman today and schedule a consultation with a Miami injury lawyer who can help you get back on your feet.
