Spinal cord injuries can lead to a unique set of difficulties and treatments. Some of the most common types of compensation you might be entitled to if you suffered a spinal cord injury due to someone else’s negligent actions include the following:
Typical medical costs, such as emergency room treatment and short term treatment in the hospital
Medical supplies or devices, such as wheelchairs and in-home hospital beds
Adaptive tools that allow a person who suffered paralysis to drive a vehicle
Respiratory equipment to help the victim breathe properly
Lost wages
In-home assistance
Physical therapy
Damages for pain and suffering
As you can see, you might be entitled to more than simply lost wages and typical medical expenses in a case involving this type of serious injury.
