Insurance Companies
Spinal cord injury cases typically involve defendant insurance companies. Insurance companies do not like spinal cord injury claims because they are very costly.

It is also typical for insurance companies to call into question the validity and extent of injuries sustained. Our attorneys are not afraid to stand up to insurance companies.
