She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning).

The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

Our client suffered catastrophic injuries. The case ultimately settled pre-suit for $450,000.00.

What Damages Are Recoverable in a Florida Spinal Cord Injury Accident?

A 2021 Global Spine Journal review of more than 30 years of records found that acute care and hospitalization after a spinal cord injury averaged between $92,220 and $337,400 in the United States. This does not consider the costs of rehabilitation, follow-up, or other expenses related to care and living with new disabilities.

Spinal cord injuries are expensive because they often require emergency transportation to a trauma center, emergency department stabilization, surgery, long hospital stays, and extensive rehabilitation. Many people need ongoing treatment, medical equipment, in-home care, and home modifications. If the injury causes paralysis, the lifetime costs can rise into the millions because of lost income and lifelong support and care.

Our lawyers understand the wide range of costs and financial losses associated with spinal cord injuries. We document your expenses and losses, both economic and non-economic. Then, we seek fair compensation for:

Medical expenses
Future medical care
Rehabilitation costs
In-home care or assistance
Assistive devices and medical equipment
Home and vehicle modifications
Lost wages and other income
Diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Reduced quality of life, especially with loss of independence and mobility
Permanent disability

Our Aventura Spinal Cord Injury Team Builds a Compelling Case for Compensation

When one party acts negligently, someone else suffers harm. In a personal injury case, our attorneys must prove negligence by showing that the at-fault party had a duty to act safely, failed to do so, and caused your spinal cord injury. Showing negligence occurred is the foundation of your case and is required to hold someone legally responsible.

The steps our team may take to develop a convincing case against the at-fault party could include:

Investigate the accident and develop a strong case to show what happened
Collect and review medical records
Consult experts, including medical care providers and accident reconstructionists
Identify all responsible parties
Document damages, including future costs
Negotiate with insurance companies
File a lawsuit if necessary
Prepare the case for trial
Represent the client in court unless we reach a settlement

Our lawyers understand what it takes to build a case that convinces the insurance carrier that their policyholder is likely legally responsible for your spinal cord injury.
