Spine & Spinal Cord Injury

Recovering Compensation for Spine and Spinal Cord Injuries

Injuries to the spine or spinal cord can range from those that can be resolved without surgery, like whiplash, to life-altering paralysis.

The attorneys of Foshee & Yaffe in Oklahoma City, represent clients who have sustained a wide range of spine and spinal cord injuries caused by car accidents, accidents at work, and other accidents caused by negligence. We offer a free initial consultation to assess your case and advise you of your legal options.

Our Approach

We first determine whether you are receiving appropriate medical care for your injury. If not, we can refer you to medical professionals we trust. Depending on how your injury occurred, we will help you file a workers’ compensation claim, pursue a personal injury lawsuit or, in some cases, do both. If you have become permanently disabled by your spine injury or spinal cord injury, we will help you obtain Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.

Spine Injuries

Injuries to the back, neck and spine can cause chronic pain and leave you unable to work or enjoy recreational activities. Some conditions can be remedied through surgery, but surgical procedures are not always successful in resolving these problems. If you suffered whiplash, a herniated disc or other back or neck injury on the job or in an accident, it is important to discuss your legal options.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can cause permanent paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. We work with certified life care planners, vocational rehabilitation experts, economists and other experts to assess your current needs and future expenses associated with the injury. Then we will pursue compensation for the full extent of damages.
