Paralysis / Spinal Cord Injury
Tacoma Washington Spinal Cord Injury and Accident Attorney
Spinal cord injuries often result in paralysis and serious medical complications that require years of treatment and physical therapy. At the Law Office of Cynthia Macklin, we work closely with experienced medical professionals, economists, and life care planners who document the extent of our clients' injuries and the costs they face as a result. As your lawyer, Ms. Macklin presents established health care cost data detailing costs associated with paralysis and spinal cord injuries. Before settling or trying any spinal cord injury case, our office takes into consideration the cost of future surgery, physical therapy, in-home nursing care, institutional care, medical equipment, prescription drugs, lost earnings, and loss in quality of life. We have the expert witness resources, knowledge of the insurance industry, and financial sophistication needed to demand awards and settlements proportional to the financial impact of paralysis and spinal cord injuries for our clients.
If you have questions regarding the legal options available to you for recovering damages in a spinal cord injury case, call Cynthia Macklin today. We provide free consultations. We are available for evening and weekend appointments if you are unable to meet with us during regular office hours.

Assessing Loss in Quality of Life
Operating as "for profit" corporations, insurance companies are committed to reducing costs by reducing the amount they play in claims. While data collected by HMOs and insurers has established known costs regarding paraplegia, quadriplegia, crushed vertebrae, and various spinal cord injuries, loss in quality of life is more difficult to quantify. As a result, insurers employ a number of strategies to avoid paying compensation for pain and suffering.
While we're prepared to go into great detail in analyzing medical costs associated with paralysis and spinal cord injuries, Ms. Macklin also emphasizes the human element in each of his cases. Regardless of the kind of accident involved, each case involves a person who is someone's mother, daughter, husband, or son - real people whose lives are irrevocably changed by the negligence of someone else. As your attorney, Ms. Macklin tells the jury your story, demonstrating what life was like before your accident and the struggles you face everyday as a result of your injuries.
