Paralysis claims require thorough legal knowledge, medical understanding, and tenacity. These cases often involve complex liability issues and long-term care considerations. At Wagner, McLaughlin & Whittemore, we offer personalized legal support designed to maximize your recovery.
Here’s what our firm provides:
We collect evidence from the scene, review police and medical reports, and consult neurology, biomechanics, and accident reconstruction experts to understand how the injury occurred.
Motor vehicle accidents, falls, workplace incidents, and defective products can result in paralysis. We explore every potential source of liability, whether a negligent driver, property owner, employer, or manufacturer.
Insurance companies often try to reduce payouts in high-value injury cases. We handle all negotiations, protect your legal rights, and push back against attempts to shift blame or undervalue your claim.
We work closely with medical experts, life care planners, and vocational specialists to document your injuries’ full extent and future needs, including long-term care, mobility assistance, and home modifications.
We prepare every case for trial from day one. We’re ready to present your case in court if a fair settlement isn’t offered. Your future matters, and we will not back down from a legal fight.

Paralysis can result from many types of accidents or traumatic events. These incidents are usually preventable and involve negligence or reckless behavior.
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes are among the leading causes of spinal cord injuries and paralysis. Even a single moment of driver negligence can result in permanent disability.
Slip and falls, construction site accidents, or falls from heights can cause serious spinal trauma. Property owners may be liable if poor maintenance or safety violations contributed to your injury.
Industrial and construction job sites often involve dangerous machinery and high-risk environments. Employers may be responsible for unsafe conditions or inadequate safety protocols.
Gunshot wounds or assaults can lead to paralysis and other catastrophic outcomes. Civil claims may be filed alongside criminal proceedings in these cases.
Contact sports, diving accidents, and other recreational activities can cause spinal trauma, especially when equipment fails or supervision is lacking.
Surgical errors, birth injuries, or delays in diagnosing spinal cord trauma may result in paralysis. Hospitals and healthcare providers may be held accountable under Florida malpractice law.
Paralysis often comes with lifelong costs, and a fair settlement or verdict should reflect the injury’s immediate and future impact.
