Spinal cord injuries and amputations are two of the most life-changing types of injuries. Each dramatically impacts a person’s ability to physically navigate and interact with the world. These injuries can be caused by almost any type of accident, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, etc.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Paraplegia, quadriplegia and partial paralysis can result from injuries to the spinal cord. These conditions can leave a person with a lifetime of medical concerns and the need to adapt to a new set of abilities. In the aftermath of paralyzing accidents, people often have to go through extensive medical care to help them adjust to their condition.
Amputation
The loss of a limb can be a devastating event. Learning to operate without a limb can be a challenging process that may take years to adapt to even with professionals helping you with the transition. Securing full compensation for your injuries can help pay for physical therapy, prosthetics and other care-related issues such as adapting your home to meet your new needs.
