The journey to recovery from a spinal cord injury is long and arduous, with no two paths looking exactly the same. Once a diagnosis has been confirmed, doctors provide a range of treatments designed to aid in the recovery process. These treatments may include medication, surgery, immobilization, rehabilitation, and the use of technological aids.
The start of recovery can be observed as early as a week or as late as six months post-injury. Some individuals may notice improvements one to two years later. However, the exact duration of recovery is impossible to pinpoint, as it heavily depends on the severity and location of the spinal cord damage.
Spinal cord injuries can lead to long-term complications, including the inability to perform day-to-day tasks, chronic pain, and emotional distress. The financial burden of medical treatments and physical therapy can also be overwhelming, particularly for those suffering from complete spinal cord injuries requiring lifelong medical intervention.
It is in these challenging circumstances that seeking compensation becomes crucial. An experienced attorney can help victims navigate the complex claims process, negotiating with insurance companies to ensure they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
At the Law Office of Scott Righthand, P.C., our attorneys are dedicated to strengthening your claim and advocating for your rights. Every doctor or therapy visit is meticulously recorded on file, providing a solid foundation for acquiring compensation for damages caused by the accident.
In a personal injury claim, victims may be awarded both economic and non-economic damages if they can provide proof of negligence on behalf of the other party. Economic damages cover tangible costs such as medical bills and loss of earnings, while non-economic damages compensate for intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Navigating a case involving a spinal cord injury can be overwhelming. However, with proper legal representation, victims can focus on their recovery, knowing that their legal matters are in capable hands.
