Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
What You Need to Know
Cases involving spinal cord injuries are serious commitments requiring a significant investment in attorney time and resources. The Strom Law Firm will help you get through the experience. We are now investigating and evaluating all kinds of Spinal Cord injury cases.
A spinal cord injury is a catastrophic event that profoundly impacts the life of the survivor and the survivor’s family. Damages in any catastrophic case are extensive. If you speak to any seasoned trial lawyer, you will learn that problems associated with a spinal cord injury case can be severe and potentially life-threatening.
One major spinal condition that can occur is Spinal Arachnoiditis. It is a severe pain disorder caused by the inflammation of the arachnoid, one of the membranes that surround and protect the spinal cord’s nerves. Spinal Arachnoiditis is characterized by severe stinging, “burning pain,” and neurological problems.
Spinal Cord Injury lawyers will undoubtedly face several problems that they would unlikely encounter in other personal injury actions when representing individuals rendered quadriplegic or paraplegic as a result of the tortious conduct of others. Perhaps the most difficult issues to address involve potentially life-shortening sequelae:
- respiratory impairments (respirator needs),
- physical impairments (sensory and motor losses),
- bowel and bladder impairments (suppositories, catheter, and bag use),
- pressure sores (decubitus ulcers, ischemic ulcers, etc.),
- and often severe depression and other psychosocial impairment.
This website will explore how counsel may best evaluate spinal injury cases within the context of damages and rehabilitation. If you have any other questions regarding spinal injuries, check out our other pages.
