Long-term effects of serious neck and spinal cord injuries, even those that seem relatively minor at the time of the accident, can include chronic back pain, quadriplegia, paraplegia, or another degree of paralysis. The disability may impair the injured person's ability to earn a living, to provide emotional support for his or her family, or be so severe the injured person requires a lifetime of nursing care.

A serious back or neck injury may be followed by severe psychological and emotional trauma, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our attorneys see that our clients receive care and evaluations from well - qualified medical professionals and therapists during their recovery.

The expense of treating these conditions, the potential cost of future medical care, the loss of employability, modifications to the home, and other factors that may cost millions of dollars over the lifetime of an injured client must all be carefully considered when calculating a claim for a back, neck, or spinal cord injury. Our attorneys often retain medical experts, life care planners, vocational rehabilitation experts, and economists to establish the cost of past and future care so that our clients are fully compensated.

Whether the neck, back, or spine injury was the result of an auto crash, a swimming pool accident, a construction accident, a motorcycle accident, or some other cause, it is important to retain an attorney immediately in order to preserve important evidence and witness statements that are critical to a successful outcome of your case.
