Spinal Cord Injuries

An Experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Representing Riders who Suffer Spinal Cord Injuries

Back and spine injuries are common in all motor vehicle accidents. And motorcycle riders are particularly susceptible. When a motorcyclist is hit by a passenger vehicle making a right or left-hand turn, a u-turn, or changing lanes, they are often separated from their bike. Anytime a rider is knocked off their motorcycle they significantly increase their chance of suffering a back or spinal cord injury.

Serving the Interests of Cyclist that Suffer Spinal Cord Injuries

I have been representing injured riders since I founded The Karney Law Firm since 1979 have an in-depth understanding of how back pain and spinal cord injuries impact the lives of bike riders and the families that support them. I am committed to helping injured riders maximize the compensation they receive for their injuries.

Many people do not differentiate between back and spinal cord injuries. However, these injuries are very different. A broken back involves a fracture of the vertebrate that protect the spinal column. A spinal cord injury involves damage to the nerves in the spinal cord that transmit signals to the brain. Back injuries often result in debilitating pain. Spinal cord injuries can result in paraplegia and quadriplegia. They can also cause respiratory problems, loss of motor skills, as well as bowel and bladder impairments.

Having successfully represented hundreds of injured riders, I know how to demonstrate the causes and consequences of spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, slipped discs, compressed vertebra, and fractured and crushed vertebra. What makes these cases difficult is that the consequences of can vary greatly.

I work with closely with each client to understand the impact of their injuries. Then consulting medical experts, psychologists, life care planners and vocational rehabilitation experts, I aggressively seek the compensation cyclists need to cover their short and long-long term medical expenses, as well as meet their financial needs.
