Spinal Cord Injuries
| Our law firm is privileged to work with a board certified physician who will assist you in understanding the full scope of your injuries. He will also help to explain the treatment chosen by your doctors for the recovery of your health and well being. |
A Spinal cord injury occurs when a traumatic event results in damage to cells within the spinal cord, or severs the nerve tracts that relay signals up and down the spinal cord. The most common types of spinal cord injuries include a contusion or a compression of the spinal cord. Other types of spinal cord injuries include lacerations, and central cord syndrome A severe spinal cord injury often causes paralysis and loss of sensation and reflex function below the point of injury, including autonomic activity such as breathing and other activities such as bowel and bladder control. Other symptoms from spinal cord injury are pain or sensitivity to stimuli, muscle spasms, and sexual dysfunction. Spinal cord injury patients are also prone to develop secondary medical problems, such as bladder infections, lung infections, and bed sores.
Spinal cord injuries can be severe and life altering. Our firm understands that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to get your medical bills paid and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injuries. Our experienced attorneys will discuss your situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
When a spinal cord injury has caused a permanent disabling injury, our goal is to provide our client with the funds necessary to make up for the inability to work, as well as those funds necessary to pay for long term medical care needs. Members of the immediate family often suffer as well, both financially and emotionally.
We always strive to ensure that the proceeds from any case will be used as intended, i.e. to provide our clients with the necessary health care, maintenance and support. In doing so, we utilize the services of physicians and other health care providers, vocational counselors, and professional life care planners.
