There are more than 100 different types of never damage as the peripheral nervous system is very fragile and can be easily damaged. According to the National Institute of Health trauma is the most common cause of injury to a nerve.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
