Spinal Cord Injuries / Paralysis

Back Injury ◦ Paralysis Lawyer

One of the most devastating results of a car accident or surgical error, short of death, is a spinal cord injury that leaves a victim unable to care for him or herself and confined to a wheelchair for life. A determined personal injury attorney will make every possible effort to help the victim recover compensation sufficient for lifelong security.

If you or a loved one suffered spinal cord injury, herniated disk, or paralysis because of surgical error, emergency room error, work accident or serious auto accident, contact an experienced Illinois personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer at Leopold & Associates, LLC in Chicago, Illinois to schedule a free consultation.

Whether temporary or permanent, paralysis causes loss of muscle and many normal functions and abilities, fear, and depression. In my career as a personal injury attorney, I have successfully obtained millions of dollars through civil lawsuits for clients who have suffered spinal cord injuries or paralysis or death in accidents such as the following:

• Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
• Bus or train accidents
• Diving mistakes or errors
• Horse jumping accidents
• Medication or vaccine reactions

I understand the emotional stress that you are under as well as the physical pain and suffering you or your loved one has endured after a spinal cord injury.

No one knows when they or a loved one will be the victim of a serious accident. Conversely, insurance companies are prepared to deal with accidents on a daily basis. They can and do obtain photographs, reports, and witness statements immediately. You need someone to protect your interests and obtain evidence that supports you.

Attorney Valerie Leopold has successfully handled accident cases not only throughout Illinois, but all across the United States. In one case, a young man who was returning from service in the Gulf War and was killed in a trucking accident in Oklahoma. Another client was paralyzed when hit by a car while changing a tire. A small child lost his life when struck by a CTA bus on the southside of Chicago. A Joliet woman suffered a leg amputation in a motorcycle collision. Recoveries were obtained in all of these lawsuits.

Insurance companies worked hard to defend these cases. Let us work hard for you.
