Do I Need A Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer?<\/h2>\n

There are several reasons that make hiring a lawyer important after a spinal cord injury. The most important reason is for your own financial security. Often, insurance companies will hire adjusters whose job is\u00a0to save the company money. This means pressuring you to accept a settlement that is far less than what you need and deserve. For many, adjusting to quadriplegia is a long-term process. This means that you may not know of all the extra costs you will be facing in the years to come. If you decide to negotiate without representation, you may accept a deal that leaves you unable to pay for all the expenses that you didn\u2019t expect when first injured.<\/p>\n

A lawyer familiar with spinal cord injuries, on the other hand, will be able to calculate how much your injury is going to cost you far into the future. They will also be able to put a monetary value on non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. They will then be able to use their knowledge and know-how to negotiate with the insurance adjusters and opposing lawyers to ensure you get every cent of compensation you need. While they do this hard work for you, you can sit back and focus on recovering and adjusting after your accident.<\/p>\n

What is Quadriplegia?<\/h2>\n

Severe damage to the cervical spine can cause paralysis of all four limbs and the entire body below the neck. This widespread paralysis is called quadriplegia.\u00a0Injuries incurred at C1, C2, or C3 (cervical nerves high up on the spine) often cause complete paralysis from the neck down. Injuries at C4 and below often leave quadriplegics able to breathe without machine assistance. How many body functions are affected depends on what level the spinal injury occurs.<\/p>\n

Numerous medical complications may arise from quadriplegia. Most quadriplegics lose control of their chest muscles and diaphragm, thus requiring a ventilator. Secondary medical conditions caused by quadriplegia can include hyperthermia, hypothermia, postural hypotension, osteoporosis, vascular dysfunction, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and cardiovascular\u00a0disease.<\/p>\n

Because the spine is one of the most important parts of the human body, spinal cord injuries are life-changing. The paralysis, paired with other resulting medical conditions, leave those affected dealing with medical complications for the rest of their life. Through a legal action, however, victims can recover money to pay for the expenses and pain that result. A lawyer from Mazin & Associates, PC can help you recover money for:<\/p>\n
