There have been major advances in treatments and therapies to help victims who have been left paralyzed from a spinal cord injury, but there is still no cure. Some paralyzed car accident victims will need a wheelchair along with vehicle and home modifications. Others may suffer from respiratory difficulties, along with bladder and bowel incontinence. The courts provide remedies to those who have been injured due to the negligence of another party. An experienced personal injury lawyer is your best resource for pursuing fair compensation.
