Nashville Spinal Cord Injuries Attorney

Pursuing Full and Fair Compensation for People With Spinal Injuries

For many years, Christopher Reeve, the actor who once played Superman, was one of the most high-profile examples of someone struggling to live a full life despite a devastating spinal cord injury. Paralysis, quadriplegia, paraplegia or nerve damage can result from many different types of accidents caused by negligence. When this happens, it's important to have a strong personal injury lawyer on your side to pursue the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Accomplished Trial Attorneys in Spinal Cord Injury Cases

We are aggressive trial attorneys who prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Many cases settle after a period of negotiation, but opposing counsel and insurance companies know that we have the courtroom skills to get results there.

In March of 2010, Randy Kinnard and Daniel Clayton from our firm won a $22 million verdict in the case of a woman who was paralyzed from the waist down due to medical malpractice. While performing surgery to repair our client's broken leg, doctors inserted an epidural catheter that led to a spinal bleed because they failed to take into account the blood thinner medication she was on. The $19 million verdict we obtained − for the woman is the largest in Tennessee history in a case of this type. We also obtained $3 million verdict for her husband.

Medical error during back surgery to correct a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease can also cause permanent spinal cord injury, as can failure to monitor a tumor or other condition that may cause damage to the nerves of the spinal cord. Car accidents, trucking accidents, railroad accidents, airplane accidents and construction accidents can also cause spinal cord injuries. Regardless of the cause, the victim is left with a lifetime of consequences.

Our knowledgeable attorneys offer dedicated personal attention and determined advocacy for clients in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama who have suffered an injury to the spinal cord or cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine.
