Our catastrophic injury team will investigate the accident that led to your spinal injury, identify who’s at fault for causing your accident, and use evidence to fight for your case in court.
Many traumatic accidents can unexpectedly lead to spinal injuries. Car accidents are one of the most common causes of spinal injuries because the significant force of a car collision can damage or sever the spine. Work-related accidents, product defect accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, and sports accidents can also cause spinal injuries.
Other common causes of spinal injuries in New Orleans are falls and acts of violence. Depending on the severity of an accident, a spinal injury can be moderate and may heal easily or may be severe and irreparable.
Moderate spinal injuries you can suffer from accidents may include pinched nerves or bulging discs. Although these injuries can result in chronic pain and some discomfort, you’ll likely heal from these injuries over time.
More severe spinal injuries involve a partially or fully severed spinal cord. When you partially or fully sever your spinal cord, you may suffer a loss of motor or sensory function and sometimes full paralysis. You may need surgery to repair your spinal cord, but sometimes, the damage to your spinal cord can’t be fixed.
It’s essential to know who’s responsible for your spinal cord injury if you hope to receive a settlement that will pay for your extensive medical treatment.
With the help of a New Orleans spinal injury attorney, you can pinpoint the at-fault party in your accident and then work to recover compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. You may receive money for things such as current and future medical expenses, lost income from missing work, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
