Neck and Back Injury Causes

At our firm, each spinal cord injury lawyer helps clients throughout the Bradenton and Sarasota areas who have suffered as a result of another party's reckless or negligent conduct. A back, neck, or spinal cord injury can be caused by various occurrences that sever the spinal cord (usually resulting in paralysis) or damage the spine or vertebrae. Over 40 percent of spinal cord injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Other leading causes of neck, back, and spinal cord injury in the United States include violent acts (shootings, stabbings, and assaults), slip and fall accidents, and sports injuries.

If another person's reckless or negligent actions have caused you or a family member to suffer a severe neck or back injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Heintz & Becker today.
