Tampa Whiplash Injury Lawyers
Neck, back and spinal cord injuries are among the most common types of injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident. The human neck and spinal column simply isn't designed to stand up to the amount of whipping force caused by sudden deceleration and acceleration that results when a body in motion comes to a sudden and unexpected stop. Even at low speeds, an auto collision can cause serious damage to the neck and back muscles, causing serious and prolonged pain and immobility. Any damage to the vertebrae or a spinal disk can result in herniation and possible paralysis.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious back, neck or spinal injury in any kind of accident in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, talk to a personal injury litigation attorney at Hale & Paulsen, P.A., in Clearwater. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your legal options for recovering financial damages for medical treatment, long-term physical therapy and pain.

Paraplegia and Quadriplegia
At their worst, a spinal cord injury can cause paralysis of limbs and body below the injury site. In addition to paraplegia, vital body organs often fail, as well. Paralysis injuries require a special understanding of complex medical and neurological issues. We work with leading independent experts to investigate the cause and full extent of injuries, as well as the financial damages over a lifetime of care and economic losses. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis.
