Indiana Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Attorneys
Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or full paralysis, including paraplegia or quadriplegia, and can eventually lead to a premature death. Brain injuries can result from head trauma during a car accident, or from lack of oxygen during childbirth caused by doctor negligence. Both spinal cord and brain injuries can require expensive treatment, long-term medical care and lengthy rehabilitation.
With offices in Muncie and Indianapolis, the personal injury attorneys at Mitchell Hurst Jacobs & Dick, LLP fight get you the compensation you deserve for your or a family member’s catastrophic injury. While we understand no amount of money can make up for a paralyzed spouse or a brain damaged child, we do understand that you will incur a great deal of expense now and in the future because of these injuries.
To speak with an experienced Indiana personal injury attorney about your spinal cord injury or brain injury claim, call us toll free at 866.675.4217 today.
We have members of the Indiana Brain Injury Association on our staff, and we understand the importance of having a head trauma assessed by a medical professional skilled at evaluating brain injuries. Sometimes CAT scans and MRIs are insufficient, and only psychological testing by a qualified neuropsychologist can determine the extent of your brain injury, as well understand the extent that your brain injury may cause temporary or permanent harm. Even mild traumatic brain injury like that suffered in a concussion can cause post-concussive syndrome, memory loss and subtle personality changes.
We have over 75 years of combined experience and an excellent network of professionals and experts to call upon to better serve our clients. At Mitchell Hurst Jacobs & Dick, LLP, our reputation as aggressive trial lawyers helps us to obtain favorable settlement offers. We are always prepared to go to trial and fight for your compensation, but will also seek a favorable settlement if that is in your best interests.
Spinal Cord Injury and Brain Damage Causes
Spinal cord injury and brain damage can be the result of many different circumstances. In our experience, many of the causes of spinal cord injury and brain injury (including traumatic brain injury - TBI) could have been avoided through ordinary care. We handle spinal cord and brain injury claims arising from a variety of circumstances including:
- Car accidents: Auto accidents are a leading cause of spinal cord injury and head trauma, including closed head wounds and traumatic brain injury, which could have been avoided with careful driving.
- Truck accidents: Like car accidents, truck accidents may lead to paraplegia, quadriplegia, brain injury or death.
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: Spine injury and brain injury occur frequently when a moving vehicle strikes a pedestrian or bicyclist. Even a helmet and other safety precautions are not a complete defense to injury in many circumstances.
- Medical malpractice: Although spinal cord injury is not a frequent occurrence in a medical malpractice matter (unless a spinal cord injury is misdiagnosed or not properly treated and results in paraplegia, quadriplegia or greater paralysis), brain injury is unfortunately all too common, especially in the context of a birth injury.
