If you need a Brookhaven spinal cord injury lawyer, the wreck that injured your spine on I-55, US-84, Brookway Boulevard, or US-51 in Lincoln County produced a damages picture that no quick settlement is designed to compensate. Spinal cord injuries are permanent. The paralysis, the partial motor loss, the chronic neuropathic pain, the bladder and bowel dysfunction, the lifetime wheelchair and adaptive equipment needs, the home modification costs, the attendant care costs, the lost career these are not numbers that fit in an adjuster’s offer formula. The insurance company assigned to your Lincoln County spinal cord case opened your file, saw the injury type, and immediately assigned a senior adjuster whose job is to close this file before the lifetime care picture is fully built. The TV lawyer’s secretary is not equipped to stop that from happening.

The TV lawyer advertising in south MS has never tried a spinal cord injury case in Lincoln County Circuit Court. He has never retained a physiatrist to testify about lifetime spinal cord rehabilitation needs. He has never retained a life care planner to project the 40-year cost of attendant care, adaptive equipment, and home modification for a Lincoln County spinal cord injury patient. He has never retained a vocational rehabilitation expert to calculate the lifetime loss of earning capacity from permanent spinal cord impairment. Right now he is at his Colorado ski condo, not thinking about your case. His secretary opened your file, noted the injury type, and is waiting for the adjuster to call with a number that reflects none of the lifetime costs that belong to the driver who hit you on I-55 near Brookhaven.

The Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine And Your Lincoln County Spinal Cord Injury Case

A defendant takes his victim as he finds him. The aggravation of a pre-existing condition caused by the wreck belongs to the at-fault driver. On a spinal cord injury case in Lincoln County, this doctrine applies to prior spinal stenosis, prior disc disease, prior cervical or lumbar conditions that made the spinal cord more vulnerable to injury in a wreck on I-55 or US-84 near Brookhaven than it would have been in a fully healthy spine. The insurance company’s spinal expert will argue your pre-existing spinal conditions contributed to the severity of injury and reduce their liability. Under MS law, that argument fails when the wreck aggravated, caused, or dramatically worsened a spinal condition that was manageable before impact. Every dollar of that aggravation belongs to the driver who hit you in Lincoln County.

The TV lawyer’s secretary does not retain a physiatrist to document the pre-existing versus post-injury spinal picture. She does not retain the experts needed to apply the eggshell doctrine correctly in a permanent spinal cord injury case. She submits current medical bills and accepts the adjuster’s determination of how much the pre-existing condition discounts the claim. A lawyer who tries spinal cord injury cases in Lincoln County Circuit Court builds the eggshell doctrine case from the treating physicians at King’s Daughters Medical Center on Hwy 51 North and from regional spinal cord specialty centers before the insurance company’s offer framework gets locked in.

Why The Insurance Company Is Moving Fast On Your Brookhaven Spinal Cord File

Spinal cord injury cases are the cases where the gap between what insurance companies offer and what the lifetime damages actually require is largest. The insurance company knows this. They assigned a senior adjuster to your Lincoln County spinal cord file for exactly that reason. They are offering early because an early settlement on an incomplete lifetime care picture saves them millions compared to a full damages case built by a spinal cord injury specialist who has tried these cases before Lincoln County juries.

Under Miss. Code Ann. Section 11-7-15, MS pure comparative fault, they will assign fault to you to reduce their payout. Under Miss. Code Ann. Section 15-1-49, you have three years to file a spinal cord injury lawsuit in Lincoln County Circuit Court at 301 S. First Street in Brookhaven. The I-55 and Brookway Boulevard surveillance footage overwrites in 24 to 72 hours. The lifetime care picture develops over months. Do not sign anything on a Lincoln County spinal cord injury case before the full damages picture is built.

The Fee Betrayal Math On Your Brookhaven Spinal Cord Injury Case

His fee is 40 percent. His itemized costs come off the top before the fee calculation. On a Lincoln County spinal cord injury case he settled fast because he accepted the early offer before the lifetime care picture was built and the eggshell doctrine case was made, his 40 percent of that reduced settlement plus his itemized costs — medical records fees, filing fees, specialist fees, fee fi fo fum fees, fees for fees, fees on top of fees, fees to calculate the fees, fees for the Lamborghini, fees for the Destin condo, fees for the Colorado ski condo, fees for the paralegal who compiled the King’s Daughters records, fees for the secretary who presented the settlement as reasonable given the current medical picture, fees to rob you blind, scam fees, handling fees, administrative fees, fees to make absolutely certain he walks away with more from your Brookhaven spinal cord case than you do — can easily leave the permanently disabled person in Lincoln County with less take-home money than the lawyer who closed the file before the lifetime care cost was ever calculated. The lawyer ends up with more than the person who cannot walk. That is arithmetic on real spinal cord injury cases.

Every Brookhaven spinal cord injury case I take is covered by the Foster Fair Fee Guarantee. Written in your contract before I do a single thing on your case. You walk away with more money than I receive in fees. Every case. No exceptions. No other Brookhaven spinal cord injury lawyer advertising in Lincoln County will put that in writing. I will. The TV lawyer will not because his spinal cord case math does not survive the guarantee.

What A Real Brookhaven Spinal Cord Injury Case Requires From Day One

On the day you call me about a spinal cord injury from a wreck on I-55, US-84, Brookway Boulevard, or anywhere in Lincoln County, I send preservation demands to every camera along the crash corridor. Then I immediately begin building the lifetime damages case. I retain a physiatrist who specializes in spinal cord rehabilitation to document your injury severity, your rehabilitation trajectory, and your lifetime care needs. I retain a life care planner to project the 40-year cost of attendant care, adaptive equipment, home modification, medical management, and the other lifetime needs specific to your injury level. I retain a vocational rehabilitation expert to calculate the lifetime loss of earning capacity. I do not file a settlement demand before the lifetime picture is complete. The insurance company’s early offer is built on an incomplete picture on purpose. My job is to make sure you never sign that offer.

How Long Do I Have To File A Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit After A Brookhaven Car Wreck?

Miss. Code Ann. Section 15-1-49 gives you three years from the date of your Lincoln County wreck to file a spinal cord injury lawsuit in Lincoln County Circuit Court at 301 S. First Street in Brookhaven. The I-55 and Brookway Boulevard surveillance footage overwrites in 24 to 72 hours. The three years gives you time to build the lifetime damages case. Do not let the insurance company compress that timeline with a fast early offer. The lifetime care picture takes months to develop correctly and signing before it is complete leaves the largest portion of your damages on the table.

What Is The Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine And How Does It Apply To My Lincoln County Spinal Cord Case?

A defendant takes his victim as he finds him. If you had a prior spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or other pre-existing spinal condition when the driver hit you on I-55 or US-84 in Lincoln County, the aggravation of that condition belongs to the driver who hit you. The insurance company will argue your pre-existing condition contributed to the severity of your spinal cord injury to reduce their liability. That argument fails under MS law when the wreck caused, worsened, or dramatically accelerated a condition that was manageable before impact. A physiatrist and a Lincoln County spinal cord injury lawyer build that case. The TV lawyer’s secretary accepts the discount.

Why Does The Insurance Company Want To Settle My Brookhaven Spinal Cord Case Fast?

Because an early settlement on a spinal cord injury in Lincoln County captures the current medical picture and misses the lifetime care costs, the 40-year attendant care projection, the home modification costs, the adaptive equipment replacement schedule, and the lifetime loss of earning capacity. Those numbers are larger than everything else in the case combined. A fast settlement saves the insurance company millions. The TV lawyer’s volume model incentivizes fast settlements. A lawyer who tries spinal cord cases does not close the file before the lifetime picture is built.

What Damages Can I Recover For A Spinal Cord Injury From A Car Wreck In Brookhaven?

Spinal cord injury damages in Lincoln County include past and future medical expenses at King’s Daughters Medical Center and regional spinal cord specialty centers, attendant care costs, home modification, adaptive equipment, lost wages, lifetime loss of earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life projected over the full life expectancy. Under Miss. Code Ann. Section 11-7-15, the insurance company will attempt to reduce every category with comparative fault assignments and pre-existing condition arguments. The gap between a fast settlement and the full damages picture on a Lincoln County spinal cord case is measured in millions of dollars.
