Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis from Truck Accidents in Chicago

Spinal cord injuries are caused by damage to the nerves inside the spinal cord. They can be particularly devastating, because they frequently result in lifelong paralysis. Severe spinal cord injuries are tragically common in truck accidents, because of the immense amount of force generated when a truck collides with another vehicle. When the accident was somebody else’s fault, there is no reason you should have to bear the burden of it. No one can undo the accident, of course, but you are entitled to full financial compensation. And your claim might be worth more than you think. In addition to compensation for your medical bills and lost earnings, you may be entitled to non-economic damages as well.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages include almost any losses that are difficult to count, such as:

• Pain and suffering (for physical pain)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (especially if you were paralyzed)
• Loss of consortium (damage to your family relationships, including loss of physical intimacy)

A Client with No Regrets

“Two years ago, I was involved in a trucking accident involving a 14-wheeler truck that nearly disabled me for life. Steve fought to make sure that I received the most possible compensation for my injuries. I was about to take the insurance company’s lowball offer, but decided to call Steve first – it was the best decision I’ve made yet.” – Malman Law Client
