OUR CHARLOTTE SPINAL INJURY LAWYER FIGHTS FOR WHAT YOU DESERVE

When you are trying to recover from an injury to your spine immediately after an accident, you may feel nervous about the future. You are unsure what kind of health outlook you will have. You may have financial concerns for your family, as you aren’table to work. At the same time, your medical bills are piling up.

Our spinal injury lawyer understands your feelings of uneasiness. You did not do anything wrong, yet your situation is dire. We take pride in helping victims of negligence receive the settlements they deserve.

WE PERFORM MANY TASKS FOR OUR CLIENTS

Our back injury lawyers in Charlotte help clients in a number of different ways, including:

• Seeking reimbursement of medical costs: You should not have to pay your own medical bills when another party caused the accident and your injuries.
• Seeking an award for emotional trauma: Car crashes are a common cause of spinal injuries. Our Charlotte car accident lawyer knows how to determine the right settlement award to request as compensation for things like nightmares, fear of riding in a car, insomnia, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Seeking damages for long-term health issues: If your back injury results in paralysis or permanent weakness in your arms or legs, you can receive damages for this reduction in your quality of life over the remainder of your life.
• Seeking the facts about your health: Our back injury lawyer will interview your doctors and study your medical history, understanding exactly what kind of future you are facing. This information helps us determine the fairest settlement amount to request.
• Determining fault in the accident. If the insurance company is disputing that its client caused your spinal cord injury, we will interview witnesses, review video and photographs of the scene, and verify police reports to show that the other party is at fault, meaning you deserve a full settlement amount.

Common Questions for Our Back Injury Lawyers in Charlotte

As we meet with clients who have suffered back injuries in accidents, we hear a number of questions frequently, including the following.

We Treat Our Clients with Respect

OUR SPINAL INJURY ATTORNEYS WILL STAND WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CASE

Our team of attorneys has been helping clients for many decades. We understand the difficult health outlook you may be facing after suffering a spine injury. We take pride in giving our clients the respect and compassion they deserve.

When the insurance company does not pay attention to your health concerns, count on us to make them listen. We do not shy away from tough cases. When the insurance company tries to make claims in the case that are not true or to create red-tape roadblocks toward reaching a settlement, we will steer the negotiations back to the facts.

Should the insurer refuse to negotiate in good faith and in a respectful manner, we will advise our clients to walk away and take the case to trial. We will stand by your side from the start of the case to the finish. You will never feel abandoned or alone when you hire the team at Sumwalt Anderson.

WE FIGHT FOR EVERY PENNY YOU DESERVE IN YOUR SPINAL INJURY CASE

Our team of litigators regularly prepares for any outcome. For example, if you have a head injury along with your back injury, our brain injury lawyer will be certain all of your injuries are part of the settlement. Our detailed preparation provides a huge advantage in terms of quality of representation  over some of our competitors, and it allows us to serve our clients in the manner they deserve.

We have a reputation of not settling claims until our clients receive the full amounts they are entitled to, down to the final penny. Insurance companies and their attorneys know when they are negotiating with us that we will fight tirelessly for our clients. This reputation helps us have more successful negotiations and outcomes.

Yet, they know we will always exhibit integrity. If insurers fail to treat our clients with respect and refuse to negotiate in a fair manner, we will advise our clients to step away from the negotiations and prepare for a trial. You can count on our professionalism and our attention to detail.

How We Help With Spinal Injuries at Work

When you suffer a back or spinal injury at work, you may have a workers’ compensation claim. In the state of North Carolina, workers have the right to seek these benefits through the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act when they suffer an injury related to performing their job. Depending on the severity of your back injury, this financial compensation may be vital to helping you stay on your feet financially.

However, you don’t automatically receive these benefits. You have to follow the state’s rules for filing your claim. You also have to be able to prove the origin of your injuries. Our workers’ compensation lawyer will work to ensure you’re receiving the benefits you should have. We will keep your case on track toward the outcome you need.

When a Back Injury at Work Becomes a Workers’ Compensation Case

Back injuries can result in serious pain that leaves the victim unable to work or enjoy day-to-day activities. Sometimes, work-related injuries can lead to paralysis, leaving the victim unable to continue in the same job. Unfortunately, spinal and back injuries at work happen with some frequency. Employees can suffer severe back injuries in a wide range of work-related activities, including:

• Strains from lifting items
• Strains from twisting
• Herniated discs in the spine
• Spine fractures from falls
• Spine fractures from car accidents
• Spinal cord damage from a blow
• Chronic pain from repetitive stress disorders.

It sometimes can be difficult to convince an employer or a review board about the severity of your injuries. Our team knows how to make use of your doctor’s reports and evidence from your accident at the workplace to show why you’re entitled to workers’ compensation for your back injury. Understand that when you suffer a spinal injury at work, you usually cannot sue your employer for a personal injury claim. A workers’ comp claim typically is your primary option for receiving compensation.
