SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Spine Injury Attorneys We've Recovered Millions for Our Clients Motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls —all of these have one injury in common: spinal cord damage. Spinal cord damage leads to partial or total paralysis in our arms, legs, or our entire bodies, robbing us of our ability to work or enjoy our lives the same way ever again. On top of that, spine injuries cost millions of dollars over the course of a patient’s life, from initial hospitalization to rehab to home accommodations. At Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC, our Jackson spinal injury lawyers advocate for people who’ve suffered loss of mobility due to negligence. We fight to recover what they need most: money for medical bills, lost wages, and future costs. Our team has nearly a century of combined experience, and as a result, we’re the firm judges and other attorneys turn to when they need an injury advocate. It all starts with a free consultation. Get a same-day free consultation: call (601) 355-5200 to learn your options. The Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries About a third of all spinal cord injuries are either complete paraplegia or complete tetraplegia. The average cost of care for complete paraplegia—the most 'affordable' of the two—is over half a million dollars for the first year, and about $75,000 for every year after that. When people lose the use of their legs, it's physically and financially devastating. Most families don't have enough money to pay for an entire salary's worth of care every year, much less half a million in bills upfront. That's why it's vital for families to call us as soon as possible after an accident. Get Started On Your Case Today Unlike other firms, your case will be handled directly by your attorney.

The Leading Cause of Burn Injuries The American Burn Association reports that the most common cause of burn injuries is fire or open flame . There are over 3,000 civilian fatalities caused by fire every year, either in residences or in the workplace. However, the cause of burn injuries in industrial settings is not exclusive to open flame. Burn injuries fall into four categories: Thermal burns (includes fires and contact with heated items) Chemical burns Flash burns (includes explosions) Inhalation burns (includes lung damage due to smoke or chemical vapor) Regardless of the kind of burn you've received, there's a steep cost to treat a serious burn injury. Specialists, around-the-clock monitoring, and multiple corrective surgeries are typical for full-thickness burns (aka third-degree burns). Some burn injuries can incur more than $1 million in hospital bills; burns are permanent losses in more ways than one.
