How to Handle a Spinal Cord Injury Case

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

Unlike many other personal injury cases, spinal cord injuries are particularly serious and oftentimes life-changing. Personal injury attorneys who have handled spinal cord injury cases understand what these cases entail and how the injuries will affect someone for the rest of his or her life. In many cases, spinal cord injuries award victims millions of dollars in compensation because of the wide range of long-term affects.

Preparing a Case

Spinal cord injury cases involve some of the most careful and costly planning, but a majority of personal injury lawyers will take cases on a contingency basis so that the law firm helps pay for the case and the client won’t have to worry about any upfront fees. The expenses involve fees paid to medical professionals who repaired spinal cord damage, hiring independent medical experts to testify in favor of the client, and other court expenses such as taking depositions from witnesses.

Up to tens of thousands of dollars may be spent on the preparation of spinal cord cases, which makes it extremely important to hire an attorney with experience in these cases.

Find the Right Attorney

Attorneys who understand the value of spinal cord injuries will be able to recover the maximum amount of compensation available. Medical, attorney fees and other expenses will come out of settlements, which is why a personal injury attorney who can recover the largest available settlement is crucial for a successful case. With an ample amount of compensation, spinal cord injury victims will be able to establish a financially secure future.
