Spinal Cord Injury

What Does it Take to Recover From a Spine Injury Caused by an Accident?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average annual medical cost of a traumatic spinal cord injury is $15,000 to $30,000, with an estimated lifetime cost of up to $3 million or more. As staggering as these costs are, others far outweigh them. What about loss of income and earning capacity? The loss of the ability to hug your child or walk to the park? What about the psychological effects, including depression and anxiety?

For more than a decade, we have fought to hold those who have caused spinal cord damage responsible for their actions by making them compensate our clients for all current and future expenses, including:

• Current and future medical bills

Like head and brain injuries, “minor” back and spine injuries may not be immediately symptomatic. If you have been involved in a car, truck or motorcycle accident, a construction accident or a slip-and-fall – or if you were injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident – it’s important to seek medical attention. Today’s minor ache may lead to tomorrow’s chronic pain.

Did Severe Spinal Cord Damage Lead to a Wrongful Death?

The nature of spinal cord injuries may mean that an injury that happened years ago is ultimately responsible for the wrongful death of a loved one. In addition to the tragedy, there are legal issues that need to be addressed. Chances are that surviving family members may be entitled to receive compensation. A complex legal issue like this requires the attention of experienced attorneys. To learn more, please contact a lawyer at Howie Law Firm LLC.
