The consequences of a head or spine injury can be life-changing, resulting in high medical expenses, a loss of income and significant, long-term physical and emotional suffering. The legal team at Kanner & Pintaluga is committed to providing comprehensive legal representation and pursuing every available avenue to secure financial support to help you recover physically and financially after suffering a head or spine injury.
Auto accidents of all types, but especially motorcycle, truck and pedestrian crashes, are some of the leading causes of head and spine injuries. There’s a particularly high risk for these accidents in Coral Gables where many bicyclists and pedestrians share the road with motor vehicles. The force of impact during a car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle collision and the disparities in size and weight between a commuter car and a truck, a car and a motorcycle, or a car and walker or bicyclists can lead to extreme bodily trauma for the parties with less protection. Excessive speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving and impaired driving can result in more serious crashes and cause victims to sustain worse injuries.
Falls are another major cause of head and spine injuries, especially if the injured party was an older adult or a young child. Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, including wet or slippery surfaces, uneven flooring, poorly maintained premises or due to obstacles in walkways. Falling from a significant height, such as from atop a ladder or rooftop, also poses a substantial risk.
There’s always a risk of suffering a head or spinal injury when participating in sports and recreational activities. Contact sports like football, rugby and boxing can result in concussions and spinal trauma, while activities such as skiing, snowboarding, cycling, skateboarding and horseback riding can lead to falls and collisions, causing significant head and spine trauma.
Certain occupations – including construction, manufacturing, working in quarries and mining – carry increased risks of head or spine injuries. Falling from a great height, being struck by falling objects or getting in an accident involving heavy machinery or equipment can cause all types of severe bodily trauma. If an employer has failed to provide a safe working environment, or if a third party was involved in your accident, Kanner & Pintaluga will help you pursue compensation via a workers’ comp claim or potentially a claim against the third party.
Severe head and spine injuries can be the product of intentional acts of violence, including physical assaults and assaults with weapons. Depending on the circumstances of the incident, victims may be able to pursue compensation from the aggressor in a civil personal injury case separate from the criminal charges they may face from prosecutors.
A medical professional who was negligent in their duties can potentially injure a patient. In extreme cases, like surgical mistakes, the patient may suffer irreparable brain or spine injuries. Surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes or misdiagnoses can have acute consequences. If you’re the victim of medical negligence, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim.
