Suffered a Spinal Cord Injury?
Contact our Boston and Washington DC Injury Attorneys for Immediate Help
Spinal cord injuries can result from many types of accidents and often have life-long consequences. Car accidents, slips and falls, explosions, gunshots, or any accident that causes damage to a victim’s neck or back can potentially result in a spinal cord injury. The consequences of these injuries can range from tingling in a victim’s limbs to total quadriplegia or paralysis. In extreme cases, a spinal cord injury can cause death. However, an experienced Washington DC or Boston injury lawyer at Pollack & Flanders can help you evaluate your injuries, seek medical treatment, and, if necessary, go to court to protect your rights.
Our Washington DC and Boston injury attorneys have over 35 years of combined experience in helping victims who have received spinal cord injuries. Our Boston and Washington DC injury lawyers are available to help you determine what to do if you are injured and offer advice on the best course of action before and after the extent of your injuries is determined. Our lawyers understand the law and are willing to do everything they can to get you the help you need.
Spinal cord injuries typically require expensive, long-term medical treatment, including potentially dangerous surgeries. The average lifetime treatment costs for paraplegics is over $400,000, while the average lifetime treatment costs for quadriplegics is over $1.3 million. To make matters worse, a victim of a spinal cord injury is often unable to return to work due to potential paralysis. Only 37% of spinal cord injury victims retain employment eight years after their accident. In other words, the financial burdens associated with spinal cord injuries can be staggering. However, our experienced attorneys know how to estimate the true cost of your injuries, and we can help you convince courts and insurance companies that you deserve compensation for these expenses.
In order to determine the best course of action, an attorney will need to know the full extent of your injuries, so it is important that you undergo an examination by a doctor as soon as possible after your accident. In general, a spinal cord injury is more severe if it is located at the top of the victim’s spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries classifications include “complete” or “incomplete”, based on the severity of any limb paralysis.
