ABOUT THIS AREA OF LAW
Brain and spinal cord injuries may be inflicted during virtually any type of accident, including a car crash, construction site accident, or slip and fall accident. They could also be the result of errors that occur during risky surgical procedures involving the back and the neck. In some of these cases, a spinal cord injury may have been avoidable, and the error might rise to the level of medical malpractice. The cost of medical care, ongoing treatment and rehabilitation, prescription drugs, and other expenses can be overwhelming.
At Geisleman & Brown LLP, we have decades of experience handling claims involving brain and spinal cord injuries. When taking on these complex cases, we work to document the facts of your claim and get the financial compensation you need to move on with the recovery process.
