Spinal Cord Injury Attorney in Atlanta

A neck, back, or spinal cord injury can upend your life. You may experience severe pain and might be forced to permanently alter the way you live your life. You may also have costly medical bills. These serious or catastrophic injuries can make you feel helpless and uncertain about your future.

Spine, neck, and back injuries are so devastating because the spine, neck, and back form the framework of the body’s structure. The neck and back support the core of the body from head to waist. Any injury can have far-reaching effects. A spinal cord injury lawyer can help.

The outcome can be even worse when damage occurs to the spinal cord – a bundle of nerves that run through the neck and backbones called vertebrae. The spinal cord allows the brain to communicate with the rest of the body. Damage to the spinal cord itself can cause paralysis.

Spinal cord damage and injuries to the neck, back, and spine happen in many kinds of accidents. People who suffer an injury to the spinal cord, neck, back, or spine should not be left with the bill for expensive treatments and ongoing disabilities when someone else was at fault for the accident. Contact our Atlanta spinal cord injury lawyer today.

The Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys at Butler Kahn can help you by:

Answering all your questions

Conducting a thorough investigation of your accident

Filing a lawsuit on your behalf

Consulting with medical experts
Negotiating for a fair settlement
Taking your case to court if a settlement cannot be reached
Fighting for a favorable verdict

Handling a spinal cord injury claim on your own is very difficult, especially when you still have severe pain from your injury. Spinal cord injury claims are complex. You have to conduct an in-depth investigation to establish the other party is liable for your injury.

You will also have to negotiate with aggressive insurance adjusters. The adjusters want to settle for the lowest amount possible. These are some of the reasons why you need a highly skilled and experienced spine injury lawyer from Butler Kahn. We are committed to fighting for your rights and pursuing the maximum compensation you deserve.

The state of Georgia places a Statute of Limitations on personal injury claims, such as those for spinal cord injuries. The statute limits the time you have to bring a lawsuit to two years. Two years may seem like a long time, but if you review the bullet points above, you can see that this time can go by quickly based on the amount of research and preparation the legal team at the Butler Kahn will be performing for you. Don’t delay. If you should allow the two-year time period to pass, and not bring a lawsuit, you have forfeited your opportunity to do so.
