Injury to the spinal cord is one of the most permanent and devastating injuries. There is a very high financial, physical, and emotional cost of a spinal cord injury and it’s crucial for victims to understand their options after their spine is damaged. Most spinal cord injuries occur because of motor vehicle accidents or slip-and-falls, both of which are often preventable. A person, company, or government agency that failed to fulfill its safety obligations can be held legally liable if their actions caused your spinal cord injury.

Our experienced Florida spinal cord injury attorneys have represented more than 32,000 injured clients since 1997 and we are not afraid to take on tough cases involving catastrophic injuries.

Your Legal Rights After a Spinal Injury
If you can prove someone injured your spinal cord because of negligence or a failure to live up to a legal duty, then you have the right to make a personal injury claim. Family members may also make a claim on behalf of a loved one, such as a child or severely disabled relative who has experienced damage to the spine. It is up to you to prove:
- The other party did not fulfill a legal obligation to keep you safe
- You suffered injury to the spine as a result of the failure
- The extent of the spinal cord injury so you can be fully compensated
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the average cost of treatment for a spinal cord injury can total between $15,000 and $30,000 per year and that lifetime costs can exceed $3 million. Victims of spinal cord damage usually don’t have this much money. Most victims also don’t have insurance that covers every expense and may be left unable to work or with reduced earning potential due to the spinal cord damage.
You should not be left with financial worries or stress about how your medical costs will be paid. You need to know the value of your spinal cord injury claim and put together a strong case to prove how badly you were damaged so you can get the money you need.

I was in an Auto Accident at the beginning of this year and ended up with some severe injuries and, I just didn't really know where to turn to next. I was given a recommendation for Steiner, Greene and Feiner and so I called them. … More My Attorney Sam Levine immediately called me back and I am so happy that he did. Sam talked with me about the process and from there I had always felt like I was in good hands. I'm actually tearing up writing this because my case is closing now and I'm going to miss talking with him. Sam has been there for me throughout this whole process, he kept me informed of each step, if I had a question, he answered me right away, if he needed to update me, he called me right away. He was always easy to speak with, he was very professional but he was like Family too. I felt comfortable and safe. I absolutely loved all of my Doctors, I always felt safe with them too, they treated you like Family, I miss them too. Sam knows what he is doing, he is knowledgeable not only with law but, your injuries too which is nice because he knows what you're going through. I can't say enough about Sam, he's a great guy and he made this process easier and he got me the settlement I deserve so, I have to give him and Steiner, Greene and Feiner five Stars, I highly recommend them to everyone, they're on your side and they put their heart and soul into it. I hope I don't have to but, if I do…I will definitely call them again and ask for Sam. Thank you Sam, thank you for all you did.
