I am so sorry to hear about your spinal cord accident. Damage to the spinal cord can result in a devastating injury. If you suffered damage to your spinal cord because of another party’s negligence, you need to speak to a personal injury attorney to help recover compensation for your injuries. It’s possible you may be faced with huge medical bills over your lifetime, and it’s much easier to pursue a legal case sooner rather than later.
You are not alone. There are tens of thousands of people in the U.S. with spinal cord injuries, and there are over 10,000 new cases every year. Unfortunately, less than one percent of spinal cord injury victims ever fully recover. The biggest factor in determining how successful your recover will be is where the damage to the spinal cord is. Generally, the closer the injury is to the brain, the more serious it is.
Many spinal cord injury victims have medical bills over their lifetime that can total millions of dollars. In addition to the financial toll, many of those individuals have an inability to work and may face very serious physical and emotional pain. Although money cannot take that pain away, it can help victims to get the medical care and therapy they may need, as well as any vocational training that could help put them back to work.
