The leading causes of spinal cord injuries are car crashes, truck accidents, and falls. Large commercial vehicles are heavy, and the impact of a collision can leave victims with severe damage to their heads, necks, and backs. The process of recovering from a spinal cord injury is difficult, bringing life-altering symptoms like numbness, full or partial paralysis, muscle spasms, chronic pain, swelling, and more. In some cases, victims require multiple surgeries, but nearly all need physical therapy or rehabilitative care.
The value of a spinal cord injury claim is directly related to the severity of the injury. For example, those who are left permanently disabled after an accident are eligible to secure larger settlements than those with spinal shock. Additionally, the nature of the accident and the degree of negligence exhibited by the at-fault party can also impact the amount of compensation victims are awarded.
The accurate calculation of damages comes down to a thorough investigation. Our Seattle spinal cord injury attorney takes on this task by looking into every detail of the accident. We may also consult with back injury medical experts to get a comprehensive assessment of what your current and future care needs will be. Our goal is to make sure that our clients collect enough to get the treatment they need and deserve while living the best quality of life possible.
