Understanding How an Injured Spinal Cord Can Cause Lifelong Disabilities

An injury to your spine could affect four areas of your body—cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. Depending on the severity of your spinal injury, you could experience:
  • Cervical injuries that cause loss of sensation or movement in the limbs and trunk
  • Thoracic injuries that cause loss of sensation and movement in the chest and trunk
  • Lumbar injuries that cause loss of sensation and movement in the legs and loss of bowel and bladder control
  • Sacral injuries that cause loss of communication between the brain and spine resulting in tetraplegia/quadriplegia
The severity of your injuries and their impact on your ability to work and on your lifestyle will influence your financial recovery.

Financial Compensation for Victims of Negligence-Based Injuries

In addition to medical care throughout your recovery, Garden City spinal cord injury lawyers fight for the following types of economic damages in your spinal cord injury claim:
  • Physical and occupational therapy
  • Medical devices and home renovations
  • In-home medical and domestic support
  • Loss of income and future earning ability
  • Property damage, loss, or diminishment
The non-economic damages we request for you are more challenging to measure. We will document the value of the following:
  • Impairment and disfigurement
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental and emotional anguish
  • Impaired quality of life
If a loved one has succumbed to their spinal cord injuries, please allow us to extend our heartfelt condolences.  It would be our privilege to  pursue wrongful death damages for your family, including:
  • The costs of their funeral and burial
  • Loss of their financial contributions
  • Loss of consortium (i.e., the special types of loss, recognized by law, that a person suffers when their spouse is a wrongful death victim,)  and companionship
  • Loss of care, support, and guidance
We will document all of the damages you are entitled to recover and work hard to maximize their total monetary value. 

Ensuring Compliance with Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit Filing Deadlines

The statute of limitations limits the time you have to file a lawsuit after an accidental injury. In general, you have: It is important to note, that while the above-referenced statutes of limitations are the most frequently applicable ones, a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your case.   In addition to filing your lawsuit on time, getting our law firm involved in your case sooner rather than later means, we have time to build the best possible case for financial recovery.  We believe the wisest course of action is to consult with an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer as soon after the accident as possible.  Our firm offers free, no-obligation consultations for this reason.  A consultation will provide you with the information you need regarding the deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.
