Brain and Spine Injury Victims
Brain and spinal cord injuries are some of the most devastating consequences of accidents. Each year, more than 1.4 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries or TBI. Today, more than 5 million Americans are living with a disability related to brain or spinal cord injuries resulting from the negligence of others. The individuals who live with these injuries often require lifelong medical care and other forms of assistance with an astronomical cost. If this is you, it is important to retain a lawyer who understands your situation and can work on your behalf.
Auto accidents, workplace accidents, and sports accidents cause most brain and spinal cord injuries. If the cause of the accident is someone else’s negligent actions – such as in a car accident or when a workplace lacks proper safety measures – the injured person deserves compensation. Some consequences of these life-altering injuries may not be obvious right away and the condition could worsen over time, requiring even more care.
With the help of an experienced attorney in personal injury cases, you can fight for compensation to cover a wide range of expenses, including:
Hospitalization
Ongoing medical care and prescription drug
In-home care
Physical therapy
Rehabilitation
Lost wages
Cost of travel to receive medical care
Retrofitting a home or vehicle to support a disabled person
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
What About Wrongful Death Claims?
