Dallas Paraplegia And Quadriplegia Injury Attorneys
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 The Law Firm of Ted B. Lyon & Associates, we represent people whose injuries have left them a 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 us at 877-Ted-Lyon / 877-833-5966 to schedule a free consultation.
Challenges Faced by Victims of Spine Injuries
Common difficulties faced by paralyzed accident victims and their close family members 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.
