Spinal Cord Injury

Louisiana Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

We tend to think of a spinal cord injury occurring because of catastrophic accidents, such as an 18-wheeler crash. However, an injured spine can occur because of medical malpractice. Such injuries are often catastrophic; victims are frequently paralyzed to some degree, with breathing and motor skills impairments. A full recovery from a spinal cord injury is unlikely. Rather, victims undergo extensive rehabilitation and therapy to learn how to cope with their changed circumstances. Life is never the same for people with a spinal cord injury.

When this catastrophic injury is due to medical mistakes caused by negligence or misconduct, it is somehow worse. People undergoing medical procedures involving the spinal cord have the right to expect a certain standard of care. At the Lafayette, Louisiana, law office of Kevin P. Tauzin, we have represented people who have suffered spinal cord injury as a result of medical professionals deviating from the standard level of care. Contact our lawyer to learn how we might help you with a spinal cord injury caused by medical malpractice.

Do not accept excuses if you have been injured because of medical errors and negligence. Contact an attorney who knows how to help.

When medical negligence and errors cause spinal cord injury, the surgeon, physician, or anesthesiologist needs to be held accountable. We have helped people paralyzed because of mistakes in diagnostic procedures, such as injecting dye for a myelogram into the wrong location. Other clients have been paralyzed because of errors during routine surgery. Spinal cord injuries may require lifetime care, an expense beyond the reach of most people. At our law office, we help people obtain compensation for spinal cord injuries resulting from medical malpractice.
