Injuries to the spinal cord or brain are some of the most catastrophic injuries imaginable.   The devastating effects are both physical and emotional.  Approximately 11,000 people suffer new spinal cord injuries every single year, and as of June 2006, approximately 253,000 persons were living with these catastrophic injuries—most are under the age of 30. Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, helps victims suffering spinal cord or brain injury and their families pursue the compensation they deserve.

 

A traumatic event such as an auto accident, sports activity, construction accident, or slip and fall at a business can bruise the spinal cord (contusion), put pressure on the spinal cord (compression), or sever the nerve fibers and tracts altogether. Because the spinal cord transmits signals from the brain to the body that control sensation and movement, an injury to the spinal cord can be life-altering. The injury also can be difficult to diagnose.  Symptoms of spinal cord injury or brain injury include:

 

    Paralysis 
    Memory loss 
    Disorientation
    Blurred vision
    Speech problems
    Loss of bladder or bowel control 
    Loss of sexual functioning 
    Change in demeanor

 

Often, finding and proving the link between the injury and the accident that caused it is a challenge, especially for attorneys with little experience in this complex area. However, the experienced Dallas spinal cord and brain injury attorneys of Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, can protect the rights of Texas victims and their families against whomever caused the injury and the insurance company that will likely attempt to avoid liability.  Our firm’s senior partner Amy Witherite previously worked as defense counsel for insurance companies.
