Securing Your Future After Life-Changing Injuries

It’s terrifying to think that one day you could walk out of your house, get into a serious accident, and never walk again. Unfortunately, this happens more often than you might think. When people sustain spinal cord injuries, their ability to move and experience sensation can be deeply impacted. As a result, they might require additional care or be unable to work.

If someone else’s negligence caused you to suffer an irreversible injury, call us at (504) 875-2223 today.

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord injuries are typically the result of a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine. When the vertebrae in your spine fracture or become dislocated, displaced organic material (bone fragments, discs, and ligaments) can damage the spinal cord. This damage can crush or destroy axons, which are the nerve cells that carry signals between your brain and the rest of your body. Without working axons, you might experience varying degrees of paralysis.

Causes and Consequences of Spinal Cord Injuries

Many people sustain spinal cord injuries in car accidents or intentional acts of violence. The following situations may also lead to spinal cord damage:

Nearly all the above scenarios are preventable and caused by the carelessness of others. If someone else caused your accident, you should not have to suffer the effects of a spinal cord injury alone.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit and pursuing compensation can help you with:

  • Emergency room fees
  • Medical bills
  • The costs of rehabilitative care
  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Diminished earning potential
  • Part-time or full-time assistance or care
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • And more

Many people have happy, meaningful lives after sustaining a spinal cord injury, but they need assistive devices and resources to help them do so. Filing a catastrophic injury lawsuit can equip you with the necessary funds.
