TMP Master Class - Personal Injury Litigation
From persistent pain and mobility challenges to mounting medical bills and lost income, the consequences of neck and back injuries can be debilitating. Let us help you focus on healing while we handle the details of securing justice for you.
Personal injury claims regularly involve accidents that cause severe injuries that put people out of work and in difficult financial situations. The types of injuries that cause this level of damage are numerous, but toward the top of the list of the worst are back and neck injuries. Suffering severe trauma to the back or neck can cause all kinds of issues with long-reaching consequences for a person’s physical health, mental health, and financial stability. This is why having a neck and back injury lawyer on your side is vital.
When someone suffers back and neck injuries in an accident caused by someone else, then they may be able to seek compensation from them via a personal injury claim. Car accidents, slip-and-falls, and more are often caused by the negligence of a party that owed the injured a duty of care. These liable parties could owe you compensation that can pay for medical bills, lost wages, and more. By filing a personal injury claim, you could recover this much-needed compensation with the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney.
If you or a loved one were involved in an accident and suffered a back or brain injury due to another’s negligence, contact Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass today. You will get an experienced neck and back injury lawyer with solid legal counsel for your case. So reach us 24/7 at (205) 831-5040 or online for a free case evaluation or to discuss your rights and options further.
Other Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle:
In order to file a personal injury claim over back and neck injuries, one must suffer severe enough damages to warrant going through the claims process. There must also be a party that is considered liable for the damages you suffered that were caused by their negligence. Typically, you will want to ensure that said liable party has insurance coverage for the accident; otherwise, finding a source for compensation can be a problem.
Proving fault, negligence, liability, and the credibility of your injuries and damages is a major component of this process. One typically hopes to be able to use this information as leverage to help reach a settlement that will cover damages, although the reality is often more complex and difficult. Multiple liable parties, a lack of evidence, insurance companies wishing to take advantage of you, and the need to file a lawsuit and go to trial when a settlement cannot be reached can make this process a bit too much for many to handle. This is why one should consider hiring a personal injury attorney to assist them.
Attempting to seek compensation for a back or neck injury after an accident without an attorney can lead to one making mistakes. Without a doubt, these mistakes can limit the compensation you receive or ruin the opportunity altogether. Insurance companies have the upper hand when you deal with them on your own and will use this advantage to keep the money they pay out to a minimum. Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass is one of the nation’s preeminent personal injury firms specializing in back and neck injuries, as well as a host of other types of personal injury cases.
Offering a back and neck injury lawyer team, we can provide the skills and resources necessary to maximize the amount of compensation you receive for your accident injuries. Our firm has a long case history of successful back and neck injury claims and lawsuits, thanks to the aggressive stance we take on our client’s behalf. When you work with Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass, you have an ally that will work to get you the settlement you deserve and represent you in a well-coordinated lawsuit and in court if the need arises.
Handling a personal injury case alone is something nobody should have to go through, especially when coping with a severe back or neck injury. Our lawyers understand how difficult the aftermath of a serious accident can be, which is why they work for a contingency fee taken from the amount of compensation they attain for you. This ensures a personal investment in your case’s success, and if they fail, then they get nothing as well.
Back and neck injuries are among the worst kinds of injuries suffered by people who file personal injury claims. In addition to their severity, they are also fairly common due to how vulnerable the back and neck can be and how physical trauma has a tendency to affect these areas more than others. You can suffer back and neck injuries in almost any setting, but the kinds of accidents that tend to cause these injuries the most include the following:

My initial feeling after speaking with Ashley was relief; I was confident she had what it took to get the absolute best outcome in our fight for justice for our little man! There was never a moment I felt in the dark, didn’t understand something, or couldn’t reach her to answer any question or concern. She always expressed a genuine concern, care, and love in fighting for what was the best interest of our son and us as a family. Ashley is highly proficient and knowledgeable in what she does and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She is truly one BADASS attorney and Superwoman got nothing on her!!

Courteous, Tenacious, Professional and attention to detail in a calming manner is how I would describe Will Lattimore, the attorney assigned to me. I had a major surgical procedure done last year that went wrong and left me not as I was. I contacted all the major billboard and TV attorneys and no one was interested. I assume it was not drastic enough for them. I was referred by a friend to Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass. From the beginning we met, Will, was very thorough in explaining how all will transpire in a timely manner. Patience, was the key, as it took a year for all the moving parts to work. During this time, I was contacted with steps and details being handled. I would highly recommend Will and this firm should you need legal representation.

So thankful I went with Turnbull Law Firm to represent me during my time of need. Will Lattimore went above and beyond during the whole process. He was eager to come to my house when I wasn’t able to travel and made everything so easy. He was always a phone call or text away and made himself available to me easily. He was successful at his job and I highly recommend their law firm and would use them again if necessary.

If you are looking for a firm to represent and get you justice in a case involving you or your loved one then we recommend Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass.

After my car accident in 2020 life for my family turned upside-down. Everything, every movement every action took so much effort and thought, nothing about our life was easy anymore. I hired Tim Holdefer the 1st day we met, then he later on introduced us to Bobby at Turnbull to represent us in court. From the 1st conversations with Ashley on the phone I instantly felt cared for. I felt like my story mattered an I felt heard. Every step of the way they were by my side until we settled. Truly if my family, friends or I ever need a lawyer again for any reason I trust that if they can’t help, they will Send me to some one who will treat us equally as good… Thank you so much for all of your help, my family will never forget you all..
So incredibly kind, hardworking, and intentional. You’ll leave with a smile, a wave, and knowing they got the job done. Thanks again peeps
I’ve had a great experience with this law firm. They kept me updated throughout the process and answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. Would definitely recommend them.

We heard about Ashley through word of mouth and I am so happy we did! She has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. My parents passed away in a trucking accident and through a devastating time Ashley stood by our side. She even came to New York for my parents funeral. She is a stand up person. She got us the outcome we wanted. She has been there every step of the way to help my family (she even listened to us cry a few times). If you are seeking a great law firm this one is highly recommended. Even further I recommend you asking for Ashley Mitchell to work your case. Ashley made it so that my family can open a homeless shelter in our parents name so they will never be forgotten. Ashley, from the bottom of mine, Coby and Sandra’s hearts we thank you tremendously.

Our backs and necks present a fairly large target for physical trauma to inflict injuries. In fact, it is a natural reflex to turn your back toward damage since it stands a better chance at repelling damage than your front. Unfortunately, trauma sustained through a number of accidents is severe enough to do catastrophic damage to these areas of the body and cause some serious health issues.
One of the most common types of injuries people suffer to their backs and necks is soft tissue injury. These injuries involve damage to the various tissues that make up these areas, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Some soft tissue injuries will consist of contusions that are caused by direct damage to the tissue via physical trauma.
Other soft tissue injuries involve the overstretching and extension of the tissues in the back. When the tissue that connects two bones, known as ligaments, is damaged by stretching, it is called a sprain. In cases where the tissue that connects bones to muscles, known as tendons, is overstretched, it is called a strain.
These injuries can often heal on their own with time and rest in more mild cases. Severe sprains or strains can require surgery to repair the damage. Regardless of how mild a strain or sprain is, they can still potentially cause significant damages, necessitating a personal injury claim.
People involved in car accidents commonly suffer what is known as whiplash. This injury is characterized by a violent jerking motion the neck makes, similar to the cracking of a whip. This violent jerking movement caused by a motor-vehicle collision damages connective tissue, muscles, tendons, and nerves located in the neck. This can cause a great deal of pain, affect the neck’s ability to move, and potentially lead to further complications.
Whiplash is also known for its ability to go unnoticed in the aftermath of an accident since symptoms can take time to develop. People can go several hours or even a day without noticing that anything is wrong. This is why it is imperative you get checked out after an accident, regardless of how you feel.
The vertebrae house a bundle of nerves that run along the spine, known as the spinal cord. In accidents, the spinal cord can suffer damage in several ways, which can lead to severe health issues and debilitating symptoms. The spinal cord is a part of the nervous system and is tasked with relaying information to and from the brain that pertains to sensations as well as the control of several organs.
Like other organs that make up the nervous system, the spinal cord is particularly sensitive and especially vulnerable to damage, which is why it is surrounded by the vertebrae. Damage can still get through and injure the spinal cord when the vertebrae are broken, fractured, or dislocated. The spinal cord can also be damaged when pressure is put on it because of an issue with the discs between the vertebrae.
Spinal cord injuries can cause permanent damage and are notorious for being difficult to treat and recover from. People who suffer damage to the spinal cord often have to cope with severe symptoms for the rest of their lives. Common issues caused by spinal cord injuries include paralysis, loss of sensation, weakened limbs, incontinence, and more.
When a blow is delivered to the back, there is a chance that the discs that cushion the area between the vertebrae are compromised in some way. These discs are round, soft, and malleable cushions filled with fluid that can slip from their proper position and cause painful pressure or rupture to a similar painful effect. People can suffer herniated discs throughout the entirety of the spine, which includes the neck, but these injuries more commonly take place in the lower back.
In an intense accident, the spine can suffer severe trauma, which can cause a fracture or break in the vertebrae. This can be a catastrophic injury since the spine is such an important structure responsible for our posture and housing of the spinal cord. Broken or fractured vertebrae can cause permanent mobility issues and threaten organs in the proximity. While some spinal fractures and breaks can cause damage to the spinal cord, not all are guaranteed to cause this kind of damage.

In severe cases, a back or neck injury may require surgery to repair damage or at least minimize it and stabilize a patient. Drugs and many types of therapies are also common tools used to treat various kinds of back and neck injuries. You can recover from some damage with minimal to no medical intervention, although it is recommended you always see a physician since even minor back and neck injuries have the potential to develop complications.
Severe back and neck injuries can cause permanent damage in cases where the spinal cord is damaged, or the vertebrae suffer a break. Back and neck injury treatment can only do so much in certain cases, and those who have suffered these injuries will have to cope with debilitating symptoms for the rest of their lives.
The consequences of back and neck injuries can affect a person’s life in several ways. These losses caused by injuries like whiplash and herniated discs are known as damages. The more obvious damages are financial in nature and are known as economic damages. However, you are not limited to seeking compensation for these damages. Non-economic damages are just as important and consist of losses less tangible in nature that affect an injured person’s emotional and psychological well-being.
The primary purpose of a personal injury claim is to seek compensation for these damages. Therefore, it is in one’s best interest to know what damages you have suffered and can be a part of your claim. The following are the most common damages:
If you have suffered a back or neck injury in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, the best way to fight for your rights and to get the most compensation possible is to hire an experienced and aggressive personal injury attorney.
At Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass, we have the experience, knowledge, and resources to handle the complexities of personal injury lawsuits involving back and neck injuries, including those involving liability disputes, multiple at-fault parties, and other complications.
