I develop an arsenal of facts and evidence to make the picture very clear.

After headaches, the next most common neurological reason for Americans to stay home from work is backache. Americans spend almost $50 billion every year on back treatment. Related, but with far more catastrophic consequences is SCI, or Spinal Cord Injury. Diagnosis of SCI, and the identification of the severity can be devastating, as the diagnosis SCI, and then the severity identification are, at face value, so simple.

The position of the injury will determine the body areas affected by the SCI. An injury to the lower part of the spine will generally affect only the lower part of the body. The higher the injury to the spine is, the greater risk there is of all the limbs being affected. An incomplete SCI will leave the affected areas with some, although widely varying, degree of sensation or movement. On the other hand, a complete SCI will leave the affected parts of the body, to all intents, lifeless. A paraplegics’ spine injury will be in the lower part of the spine, whereas a quadriplegics’ spine injury will be in the upper part of the spine.

In the United States, every year, there are 11 000 spine injuries diagnosed. Of the 11 000, 2 300 will be diagnosed as being quadriplegic, with complete SCI.

If you are one of the 11 000, and your injury came about through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to money compensation. Insurance companies usually don't offer you the full compensation you will need to care for your future needs. As an experienced spine injury lawyer, Mr. Leeds will work with your best interests at heart, as he tries to determine the full amount of damage and injury compensation you will need, and will include future costs for medical bills, therapy, lost wages and more. There will be no charge for lawyer fees if there is no money compensation.

For Mr Leeds' SCI clients, it is Mr Leeds' job to present all of the evidence about their Spinal Cord injury. Often, those who knew the victim before the injury have difficulty in reconciling themselves with victim’s condition, and need to be consulted to fully discover what the changes in the accident victim have been.
