Back injuries, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries can all be very expensive to treat. For spinal cord and brain injuries, for example, you may need rehabilitation, nursing care and multiple surgeries as well as visits to specialists. You may need to be in a wheelchair or you may need support if your injuries are permanent. In some cases, you may need to have care at home or you may need the services of an assisted-living facility because of the severity of your injuries. A back injury can mean a lifetime of medication and treatment as well.
The amount you receive for your injuries will depend on a number of factors, including the expected long-term costs of your treatments, the expected long-term wage losses you experience, the impact of the injury on your life, and other factors. The best way to evaluate how much your case may be worth is to consult with a personal injury attorney in your Delaware community. An attorney can look at the specifics of your case and help you understand the chances you have of fighting in court and the possible value of your claim.
