Coping with a spinal cord injury entails much more than getting through the trauma of the original accident. Emergency care, surgery, and physical and occupational therapy are just the beginning of a lifetime of challenges for someone with paraplegia or quadriplegia.
At Ted Lyon Law, our catastrophic injury attorneys represent people whose injuries have left them paraplegic or quadriplegic. We work closely with physicians and other medical professionals to learn about our clients’ needs. Life-care planners help us identify all of the medical, rehabilitation, and personal services our clients require over the course of their lifetimes. Call a Dallas spinal cord injury lawyer at 877-Ted-Lyon (833-5966) to schedule a free consultation.
What Challenges Do Victims of Spine Injuries Face?
There are many common difficulties that paralyzed accident victims and their close family members face. These include:
- Ongoing neuropathic pain for many recovering accident victims
- Ongoing need for pain medication, often causing complications
- Vulnerability to urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Vulnerability to strokes, pressure sores, and other complications
- A need for special adaptive durable medical equipment as well as disability accommodations in the home
- A need for an electric wheelchair — and periodic replacements over a lifetime
- A van outfitted to transport a passenger in a wheelchair
- A need for ongoing physical therapy and occupational therapy
- A need for daily services of personal care assistants
A spouse and/or other immediate family members typically experience great losses along with the accident victim. A husband or wife can often file an additional claim for damages, as a marital relationship is drastically altered. Our Dallas attorneys can help you pursue fair and deserved compensation for your spinal cord injury.
