Car accidents are the primary cause of spinal cord injuries in Miami, and victims frequently endure several surgeries over months or even years.
At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we understand how just one moment on Florida's highways can result in a lifetime of medical treatments and rehabilitation.
