Spinal Cord Injury
SCI or Spinal Cord Injury, whether complete or partial, often result in paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or someone you know has suffered a spinal injury don’t hesitate to call us. We offer a free consultation and can determine fairly quickly whether TSG is the right match for your case.
The legal process for recovering personal injury damages for persons who have SCI involves not only recovering the cost of existing medical treatment and pain and suffering, but also recovery of future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, loss of family and social relations, future psychological and/or psychiatric care, and many other complicated forms of damages.
To establish these damages, and prove them in a court of law, the injured party needs to retain a variety of doctors from many different disciplines of medicine, as well as nurses, vocational experts, economists, and other expert witnesses. The cost of retaining these experts can be thousands of dollars per expert. My office advances these costs for my clients. My office has an extensive network of physicians and experts ready to help my clients immediately.
I personally guide my clients and their families through this difficult process of healing and recovering compensation. I ensure that my clients are receiving the highest quality medical care, regardless of their personal financial state, and regardless of whether they have medical insurance.
Know that if you’ve suffered a SCI, you are not alone. According to the National Association of Spinal Cord Injuries Association:
- 250,000 – 400,000 individuals in the United States have spinal cord injuries.
- Approximately 11,000 people sustain new spinal cord injuries each year.
- 60 percent of individuals with spinal cord injuries 30 years old or younger
- The majority of people who sustain spinal cord injuries are men.
NASCIA statistics show most of the spinal cord injuries are a result of car accidents, sports accidents, falls and industrial mishaps.
Additionally, victims of a spinal cord injury are much more susceptible to further health complications as a result of their disability. Nutrition, skin management, urinary tract infections, bowel issues, sexual function, reflexes, blood pressure, temperature, and bone problems are all exacerbated by a spinal cord injury. Extensive modifications to one’s lifestyle and home must often be made after a spinal cord injury, and these changes can be emotional and expensive. I have extensive experience in obtaining compensation for the psychological and financial expenses that are incurred after one is diagnosed with a spinal cord injury.
