SPINAL CORD INJURY

Spinal Cord Injury

Injuries of the spinal cord and column are considered to be one of the leading causes of long-term and permanent impairment as well as death. A spinal cord injury can be caused by a car accident, slip and fall, and other types of unfortunate accidents. Due to the seriousness of this type of injury, the victim may be diagnosed with paraplegia or quadriplegia as a result.

Families of spinal cord injury victims are often overwhelmed by various circumstances resulting from the accident which caused the injury. When it comes to injuries of the spinal cord and column, it is crucial that the victim receives proper medical care as well as the necessary modifications to their home in preparation for the time when they will finally be released from the hospital.

An experienced personal injury law firm can ensure that the appropriate level of medical care and assistive devices will be in place prior to the victim’s release from the hospital which will therefore alleviate some of the stresses and burdens on the victim’s family. The victim may also be entitled to receive compensation for lost income, future medical care as well as out of pocket expenses.

If you or a loved one were involved in an accident which resulted in a spinal cord injury, it is important to speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.  Not only can the lawyer ensure that the victim and their family will receive funding for medical treatment, assistive devices, and nursing care, but also ensure that the victim’s rights are protected.
