Compensation for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
Spinal cord injuries, like other trauma, can leave victims with lasting reduction in their quality of life. If said spinal cord injury is a direct result of another party’s negligent behavior, you may be entitled to damages. Through personal injury litigation you can hold those responsible for your spinal cord injury accountable.
Should you have suffered as a direct result of someone’s negligence you can receive compensation for the following:
Trips to the hospital, general practitioner and physical therapist can be expensive. If you were injured as a result of someone else’s actions, you should have your medical bills covered. Accurately compile and record the total of your expenses, as it will be necessary in attempting to recover said damages.
If you have suffered a severe injury, like spinal cord damage, you will more than likely have missed time at your occupation. By filing a personal injury suit, you can receive compensation for your lost wages. Both past and future unpaid hours can be part of the damages you seek in court.
Catastrophic injuries typically require repeated, frequent medical attention. If you suffer as a result of someone else’s actions, you could be entitled to future medical expense compensation. It is important to have medical support to verify your claims.
Due to the severe nature of spinal cord injuries, they can often be accompanied by immense physical pain and suffering. And, you are entitled to recover for the emotional distress caused by such psychological impact of these injuries.
If a spinal cord injury causes death due to the negligence of another loved ones are entitled to compensation for their loss. This can include funeral and burial expenses, cost of pre-death medical care, emotional distress of the loss, lost financial contribution, lost services and support, as well as the loss of companionship and consortium.

- Negligence — The other party committed a preventable error or mistake causing injury.
- Recklessness — The responsible party could not control their actions due to rage or intoxication, or a complete disregard for another’s safety.
- Intent — The other party meant to cause injury or death.
