Pursuing Damages in a Spinal Cord Injury Case
We can help you recover compensation from the party who caused your spinal cord injury. When you work with our Rockledge catastrophic injury lawyer, some of the damages they can help you recover include:
Medical Bills
It can be expensive to recover from a spinal cord injury, especially if you or your loved one need continued treatment. You should not have to pay for the cost of treating your injury when another person is at-fault for causing it.
Lost Income
If you need to take time to recover from your injuries, that can mean missed days at work. Your injury may require long-term treatment, and missed paychecks can begin to add up and cause financial stress for you and your family. Compensation can make up for your lost income and help you and your family get back on your feet.
Lost Earning Potential
If a spinal cord injury leaves lasting damage, it could affect your ability to work in the future. When your injury impacts your ability to work in the same capacity or work at all, we can help you secure money to make up for your lost earning potential.
Diminished Quality of Life
A spinal cord injury can also affect your ability to enjoy things you once loved, like sports or hobbies. If your injury results in emotional anguish and a diminished quality of life, that has to be considered when compensation is calculated. We can assign a value to this loss to help you receive payment.
Pain and Suffering
Your compensation should also help make up for any past and future pain and suffering you experienced as a result of your spinal cord injury. Our team will ensure we include your pain and suffering when we demand compensation from the at-fault party’s insurer.

The Statute of Limitations for Filing a Spinal Injury Lawsuit
It is important to remember that you do not have unlimited time to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) typically gives you four years to file your lawsuit. If your injury was caused by medical malpractice, you usually have two years to file your lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b).
The quicker you act, the quicker we can begin compiling your case and fighting for the compensation that you and your family deserve. Our lawyer can explain any circumstances that may change the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. We can keep your case on track and make sure you file on time.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
