Nerve Injury

Nerve Injury

The nervous system plays a key role in the ways our bodies function. Autonomic nerves control basic involuntary functions, such as breathing and heartbeat. Motor nerves govern movement by regulating communication between the brain and the muscles. Sensory nerves relay information about muscles and skin. The information they provide helps us detect pain and feel other sensations. Because the jobs that nerves do are so varied, injuries that damage nerves can greatly affect our everyday lives. If you’ve been hurt and sustained nerve damage, contact a qualified personal injury attorney for advice.

At Freeman Injury Law, our West Palm Beach nerve injury lawyers have medical training in addition to their legal know-how. Because of that unique perspective, we can appreciate how serious nerve damage can be. We know that it can radically affect your life in many ways, perhaps making it impossible for you to move about, to work, or even to escape constant pain. That’s why the nerve injury attorneys at our firm believe it’s so important to understand your rights when you’ve been hurt. If someone else is responsible for injuries that affect your nervous system, the individual at fault should be liable for your medical care and lost wages.

The nerve injury attorneys in West Palm Beach know that there are many causes of nerve damage. They range from exposure to toxic substances, to illness and nutritional issues. But we also know that automobile accidents are a leading cause of nerve injuries. Neck injuries, crushing or compression of body parts, and other traumatic damage that occurs during crashes can cause serious injury to the nervous system. In some cases, damage may not be apparent immediately after an accident. Or it may be difficult to diagnose nerve injuries because the pain you experience could be challenging to pinpoint. When a nerve is injured, the pain, numbness, weakness, or other sensation you feel could show up elsewhere in your body.

When you’ve suffered nerve damage because of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle or other type of accident, you’ll appreciate the dedication that the West Palm Beach nerve injury lawyers at Freeman Injury Law bring to their work. Our firm is a leading choice among injury victims because of our commitment to personal attention and our understanding of the many factors involved in documenting nerve damage.

Our nerve injury attorneys in West Palm Beach have the resources and knowledge needed to build a strong case designed to recover the maximum compensation available to you.

If our nerve injury attorneys don’t recover money for you, then you owe our firm nothing.
