Compensation for Your Back Injury
An injury anywhere along your spine, from the neck to the lower back, can have consequences that may last a lifetime. If you have suffered a back injury in a car accident, construction accident or any other type of accident, contact Bendall & Mednick today at 518-370-2211. When you work with our experienced attorneys, you will NEVER pay any legal fees unless we recover monetary damages for you.
Understand Damages to the Spine
Your back is one of the most important parts of your body, due to the spinal column and spinal cord. This is also the core of your central nervous system, thus affecting your brain, organs and muscles as well. When bones in the back are broken or misaligned or spinal discs become ruptured, your entire body can be impacted. Pain in your arms or legs can also be caused by pressure on nerves in your back as well.
Many back injuries require surgery and some can even lead to permanent paralysis. When you have suffered a back injury, see your doctor right away. An MRI or another test will likely be ordered to determine the extent and nature of your injuries.
Fair Compensation for Paralysis
If you are suffering from paralysis due to injuries suffered in an accident, contact our law firm right away. Any back injury can have serious consequences, but an injury where the spinal cord has actually been cut is one of the most catastrophic imaginable.
There is no way to repair a completely severed spinal cord. Such an injury can lead to permanent paralysis, leaving an individual as a paraplegic or a quadriplegic. This person may not be able to return to their previous job and may need permanent, intensive medical and personal care.
Carefully Document Your Injuries
Make sure you document everything related to your accident and injury. Your lawyer will need to prove who is at fault for your accident as well as demonstrate the impact your injuries will have for the rest of your life. This could require a life care plan that sets out the amount of money necessary to support you and pay for your living and medical expenses, including any specialized equipment, for the rest of your life.
Our attorneys work with credible professionals who are well-versed in documenting damages such as pain and suffering, reduced quality of life and all expenses related to life care and medical treatments.
