Spinal Cord Injury

Louisville Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Personal Injury Form

In most cases, a spinal cord injury has already done its damage of partial paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia by the time an auto or truck accident victim arrives at the emergency room. A thorough evaluation of the victim's condition will be followed by an aggressive regimen of therapy and rehabilitation. To the victim and his or her family, the immobility brought about by the injury creates a whole new set of challenges, expenses, and necessary adjustments to loss.

Lifetime Care Needs of a Paraplegic or Quadriplegic

The lifetime costs of 24/7 care, which many spinal cord victims will require, are formidable. Many victims will need to be on ventilators for the rest of their lives. Even with excellent care, spinal cord victims typically face the prospect of shortened lives, as was the case for Christopher Reeve, who died of complications at the age of 52, nearly 10 years after he was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident.
