Doctors have not found a cure for spinal cord injuries. However, depending on the severity of the damage, physical therapy can sometimes lead to partial or nearly complete recovery from a spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury victims must closely follow the treatments prescribed by their physicians, especially immediately after the accident. This will help tremendously with your legal claim, since the at-fault party cannot claim that you sabotaged your recovery by not complying with your doctor’s orders.
The likely permanence of a spinal cord injury makes it an extremely expensive financial burden. If someone else caused it, they should pay for your treatment, wheelchair, home renovations, and anything else you need to regain maximum independence.
