There are varying degrees of spinal cord injuries. Whether you have suffered a partial or full paralysis, the corresponding mental, physical, and financial consequences are often devastating. Surgeries, attendant care, physiotherapy, and many other forms of treatment become overwhelming for victims and their family members who may not have the means to cover these rising costs.
The timing of seeking medical care is often as important as the professional you choose to provide the care. Insurance companies may not advise you of the rights you have to obtain treatment and may not be agreeable to paying for the costs associated with your care. That is why it is imperative that you seek the advice of an experienced lawyer who will help you navigate through this complex area of law to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve to obtain the treatment you require.
Recovering the necessary treatment costs are not the only area of damages that an injured party could recover as a result of another person’s negligence. There are damages for pain and suffering, past and future income loss, housekeeping, among other heads of damages depending on the facts of each case.
