Indiana Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
Jacobs Law LLC in Muncie and Indianapolis
Two types of injuries can rightly be considered "catastrophic": brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. A catastrophic injury will have the most severe and long-term consequences, affect the most areas of life (work life, home life, recreation), and pose the most difficulties to full recovery.
If your loved one suffered a spinal cord injury, it will be important to have the financial resources to ensure they get good medical care, extended rehabilitation services and, in the worst case, lifelong home care and adaptive equipment. If the spinal cord injury was the result of a negligently caused accident, you may be able to get financial compensation through a personal injury claim.
The personal injury attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC are experienced at fighting for injured people. Our goal is to ensure you get the compensation you deserve so you can meet your medical expenses today and tomorrow. Learn more about how we can help you achieve financial recovery. Contact our Muncie or Indianapolis law office or call us toll free at 800-915-9690.
How an Experienced Attorney Can Help after a Serious Injury
At Jacobs Law LLC, we have more than 25 years of experience and track record of aggressive representation in negotiations and in trial. That experience, coupled with a network of investigative professionals and medical experts, enable us to achieve very favorable settlements and verdicts for our injured clients.
We have handled a number of spinal cord injury cases in which clients suffered partial or full paralysis (paraplegia or quadriplegia) because of damage to vertebrae and nerves. We have also worked with clients who experience numbness, lack of sensation, or weakness in the limbs. Back injuries can cause ruptured discs, or bulging or herniated discs, leading to chronic back pain.
While everyone - including juries - considers paralysis to be the most debilitating spinal cord injury, we know that chronic pain from disc injury or degenerative disc disease can truly make life a nightmare. Excruciating, chronic pain causes sleep disturbance, limits mobility, makes work impossible, and can contribute to drug and alcohol abuse as the injured person looks for any means available to numb the pain.
As your attorney we work to help you obtain an accurate diagnosis of your spinal cord injury and the medical and rehabilitative treatment you will need, both today and throughout your life. We gather the evidence needed to demonstrate to the insurance company - or to a jury - the many ways in which your injury limits your life. These are two factors that will be considered when determining the amount of compensation you can receive.
Our goal is to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation so you have the greatest opportunity possible to regain your independence and your life after an accident.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
