Our seasoned catastrophic injury attorneys could review your case carefully and let you know if you have valid grounds to pursue a lawsuit.
Your spinal cord performs critical body functions. It is made up of nerves that connect all the parts of your body to the corresponding regions of your brain. Your spinal cord provides a pathway that allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body, sending and receiving messages to and from all your body parts. These messages allow you to experience sensations and move your body.
Any damage to your spine can result in mobility impairments and loss of sensation in the affected regions of your body. For example, if you experience trauma to the lower part of your spine, you could experience paraplegia—paralysis of your lower limbs. If the trauma occurs higher up your spine, closer to your neck, you could be at risk of quadriplegia—paralysis of the entire body. If the injury is complete and the spinal cord is completely severed, you could face permanent paralysis. However, if the trauma did not completely sever your spine, you might be able to regain some mobility and sensation with proper medical treatments and rehabilitation.
The costs associated with any type of spinal injury are high. Our Wheeling attorneys could help you fight for full and fair compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial losses you have suffered due to your spinal trauma.
Spinal damage can occur anytime someone suffers trauma to the spine. Most frequently, injuries are caused in the following ways:
If someone else’s actions led to your injury, you need help, regardless of whether your injury occurred through that other person’s negligence or by deliberate intent. Our experienced Wheeling attorneys know how to build strong legal claims based on spinal cord injuries. We could investigate by gathering and securing evidence. We could also negotiate for a fair settlement. However, if the at-fault party’s insurance company is unwilling to offer a full settlement, our legal team could aggressively fight your case in court.
Spinal cord injuries are catastrophic and can have lifelong implications. If someone else did something that caused your spinal trauma, you deserve help. You do not have to shoulder the burden of your medical care and other needs alone. Our seasoned attorneys know how to help you fight back for justice and financial compensation.
