Auto Accident Spinal Injuries

Atlanta Car Accident Injury Lawyers

Spinal cord injuries sustained in car accidents can cause serious and often long-lasting complications such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. To treat these complications, victims of spinal cord injuries may have to undergo lengthy and frequent medical procedures, participate in physical therapy, and pay for medical equipment to keep in their home as a result of the crash. However, these expenses and financial burdens may be eased by a spinal cord injury lawsuit. If you or a loved one has experienced a spinal cord injury or paralysis as a result of a car accident, contact our attorneys today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are many types of car accidents, each of which puts passengers at risk for serious injuries. Depending on the speeds of the two cars, whether passengers were wearing seatbelts, the point of collision, and numerous other factors, injuries sustained in these crashes can range from mild to severe. Certain events in a car accident increase the likelihood of a spinal cord injury, including:

  • Vehicle rollovers
  • Roof collapses
  • Seatbelt failure
  • Seat back collapses

If a manufacturer defect was present in the victim’s vehicle, and that defect led to one of the above incidents, the injured party may have grounds for a product liability claim. An experienced car accident attorney can investigate this possibility thoroughly and recover the maximum compensation for a victim’s claim.

Spinal Cord Injury Damages

If the victim of a car accident decides to file a lawsuit for his or her spinal cord injuries, there are a number of categories in which he or she may receive compensation. Depending on the nature of the claim, a spinal cord injury victim could be compensated for:

  • Past and future medical bills, including the price of wheelchairs
  • Costs of retrofitting a home to be handicap-accessible
  • Lost wages, both past and future
  • Inability to return to work
  • Loss of enjoyment of life caused by his or her injury
  • Pain and suffering

An experienced spinal cord injury attorney knows how to build the strongest case for you to receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to. No amount of money can reverse the seriousness of a paralysis injury, but a spinal cord injury lawsuit can hold the negligent parties responsible for their actions, and assist you and your family with the financial burden these types of injuries often place upon their victims.
