Financial Recovery for Spinal Cord Injuries
Thousands of people suffer spinal cord injuries in the United States each year. Because of the permanent damage spinal cord injuries cause, life after a spinal cord injury may be dramatically different than before. Medical bills may be overwhelmingly expensive and a spinal cord injury victim may never be able to return to work. If you or somebody close to you has suffered a spinal cord injury in an accident caused by somebody else’s negligence, you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation for your pain and suffering and medical expenses. Financial recovery may include damages for:
- Physical disability
- Medical bills
- Future medical care costs
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation costs
- Other accident-related costs
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries – Complete and Incomplete
Doctors classify spinal cord injuries as either “incomplete” or “complete.” Whether or not an SCI is complete or incomplete depends on how the person is injured. If the injury is complete, the victim will not have any sensation or movement ability below the injury location. Depending on the location of the injury on the spinal, the victim will be either paraplegic or quadriplegic. If the injury is incomplete, the victim will have some movement or sensation below the injury location, however it may be very limited. With any spinal cord injury, there is always the risk of infection and other serious complications.
Treating Spinal Cord Injuries
Immediate action is necessary after a spinal cord injury to stabilize spinal cord injury victims and prevent further injury. Surgery may be required if the spinal cord is compressed or requires stabilization. A patient may be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent further damage from swelling of the spinal cord.
Rehabilitation for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
Rehabilitation begins after the initial medical treatment. It is common for spinal cord injury victims to feel sad, angry, or depressed after an injury. Accepting the reality of a difficult situation is never easy. At our law firm, we concentrate on getting injury victims the maximum financial recovery for their injuries so they can live a happy and productive life free from financial worry. Rehabilitation focuses on physical, emotional and mental recovery after an injury.
