The most severe spinal cord injuries can lead to paralysis. If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury following an accident, it is important to consult with a lawyer as soon as it is medically possible. Individuals might not understand the methods available for recovering compensation, and it is our goal to ensure they are aware of their options.
At Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge, our Nashville paralysis lawyers have helped injured Tennessee residents since 1977. Paralysis can be challenging no matter what body part is affected. When the arms or legs are paralyzed, simple daily tasks can be difficult. Whether the paralysis is complete or incomplete, it is wise to consult with medical and legal professionals to ensure you receive the correct diagnosis and care.
Lawyers for Clients With Spinal Cord Damage
Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge has received an AV-Preeminent rating* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system. Our firm has been listed in Best Law Firms in America. Our attorneys' credentials are both individually and collectively impressive; they include certification by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization, as a Civil Trial Specialist and as a Medical Malpractice Specialist, selection for inclusion in Mid-South Super Lawyers**, attorneys named in the Top 100 attorneys in Tennessee by Law and Politics Magazine, and inclusion in the guidebook Best Lawyers in America.
Depending on which area of the spinal cord is damaged, different parts of the body might be affected. Essentially, the higher the injury, the more devastating the paralysis might be. In short, an injury to the top of the spinal cord (cervical vertebrae) will affect the arms and everything below that. An accident that damages the sacral vertebrae will only affect the legs and feet — nothing higher on the body. Our attorneys understand that any accident that damages the spinal cord can have devastating effects on both the injured individual and his or her entire family. It is with this understanding that we will fight to ensure you receive the full and fair monetary compensation for your loss.
