A Spinal Cord Injury Requires Expert Medical Care — and Experienced Legal Advocacy
A spinal cord injury is one of the most severely life-changing events that can happen to a person. Whether in a diving accident, in a construction accident, in a car accident, in surgery or as a result of a fall from a high place, a serious spinal cord injury may relegate its victim to a wheelchair for life.
A cervical spine injury may leave its victim a paraplegic or a quadriplegic. In addition to expenses for medical treatment at the time of the accident, the injured person is likely to require extensive financial support over a lifetime:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Vocational rehabilitation if possible
- Evaluation and treatment by neurologists and other specialists
- Durable medical equipment such as motorized chairs
- Adaptive equipment such as "handicapped" vans and grab bars at home
- Home remodeling to accommodate a wheelchair
- In many cases, psychological therapy to cope with the drastic life changes
