Our services are tailored to the needs of your family. As a leader among Florida spinal cord injury law firms, we may be able to:

Prove your injury was caused by another’s negligence
We will thoroughly investigate your claim and collect all evidence necessary to prove that negligence caused your SCI, such as medical evaluations, witness statements, and photos and videos of the accident and/or accident site.

Identify and pursue compensation from all liable parties
It’s possible that more than one party is liable for your injuries. Potentially liable parties in SCIs include negligent drivers, employers, equipment manufacturers, and medical professionals.

Obtain expert testimony and support
We may work with experts in the medical and economic fields to establish not just the extent of your injury but its impact on your daily life. This usually includes testimony from neurologists, spinal surgeons, and/or vocational experts.

Prepare your case for trial
Our in-house litigation team has extensive experience in Florida spinal injury law and a strong track record with catastrophic injury claims. If needed, we will prepare your case for trial early to increase your chances of a successful Settlement, Verdict, or Award.

We maintain a Florida-wide investigator network to oversee your claim regardless of where in the state it took place. This includes support for a wide range of spinal cord injury causes.

Motor vehicle accidents
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes are among the most frequent causes of severe spinal cord injury.

Slips and falls
Accidents on unsafe property are another common cause of these types of injuries, particularly slips and falls from tall heights.

Medical negligence
Forms of medical negligence that can result in SCIs include surgical errors, missed or delayed diagnoses, and direct injury to the spinal cord during routine procedures.

Sports and recreation accidents
Many high-impact sports and recreation activities can result in spinal cord injury, among them football, hockey, diving, and boating.

A skilled spinal cord injury lawyer in Florida will seek maximum compensation for your preventable spinal cord injury.

Damages may include:

• Medical and rehab bills
• Mobility devices
• Home and vehicle modifications
• Future care costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering

There are two important things to know before you begin your Florida SCI claim:

• Florida’s statute of limitations for SCI claims is generally two (2) years from the date of injury, with limited exceptions.
• Florida is a comparative negligence state, meaning you may be entitled to compensation as long as you were 50% or less responsible for the accident.

The sooner you establish liability and file your claim, the better. Contact us now for a rapid intake at no cost.

It’s recommended that you work with a specialist instead of a general personal injury (PI) lawyer for SCI claims in Florida. Top spinal cord injury law firms in Florida have experience you won’t find with general firms, as well as trial leverage and access to top experts in the field. They also have resources that general PI firms may not have, which are necessary for a successful claim and/or trial.

Your personal finances should never stand in the way of your rights. Gordon & Partners offers skilled legal support with no upfront fees and will advance all expenses related to your case. There is no fee until you win, which means if you don’t receive a Settlement, Award, or Verdict, you don’t owe us a penny.

How long do spinal cord cases take?
Spinal cord cases are generally resolved within a few months to a year after the initial filing.

What if I’m partly at fault in Florida?
Florida is a comparative negligence state, so you may be eligible for compensation if you are 50% or less responsible for what happened.

Do I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Most spinal cord injury claims are settled out of court and are only litigated if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
