How to Find a Qualified Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
An estimated 11,000 individuals suffer from a spinal cord injury every year. Automobile accidents account for over 40% of all spinal cord injuries, followed closely by falls, gunshots, and diving accidents. Sports related accidents account for a number of injuries each year as well. 53% of injuries occur in people aged 16 to 31, a group young enough to suffer the long term impacts of spinal cord injuries.
Spinal cord injuries can negatively impact your quality of life; almost certainly in the immediate aftermath, but often for years to come as well. Medical costs associated with the initial treatment and long term rehabilitation is never inexpensive, and the result of these costs can be devastating. In addition, symptoms that include loss of basic motor function or even breathing on your own can permanently impair your ability to enjoy their life.
An experienced lawyer, one with sufficient expertise and a proven record in dealing with spinal cord injuries, is incredibly important to have in your corner. Insurance companies, workers compensation, and liability companies do best when they remain unchallenged; but your quality of life depends on your ability to obtain a settlement that covers your continued medical expenses, and provides you with the peace of mind that you can provide for yourself and your family.
If you or a loved one live in Indiana and have suffered a spinal cord injury, please contact the experienced, professional lawyers at Truitt Law Offices for an initial consultation.
