Symptoms of spinal cord injury or brain injury include paralysis, disorientation, blurred vision, speech problems, memory loss, loss of bladder and/or bowel control, loss of sexual functioning, and change in demeanor.

Each dispute that Eberstein Witherite, LLP, handles is staffed by a lead attorney and supported by a team of legal professionals and paralegals, two full-time investigators, and our network of outside experts and consultants.

Typically, it is helpful for a client to keep or obtain copies of any documents relevant to the accident that caused your injury, as well as any medical attention received, including doctor and prescription bills. Also, we suggest that our clients not discuss the accident or injuries with a doctor or anyone else other than our team of attorneys and professionals.

As a general rule, victims are entitled to compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the lost companionship of a loved one. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded. These amounts are meant to punish the wrongdoer who caused the injury.
