Opelousas Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

If you or a close family member have sustained a spinal injury, you could benefit from discussing the case with a talented personal injury attorney. When these injuries occur through no fault of your own, you could seek monetary damages from the person or entity that was responsible. An Opelousas spinal cord injury lawyer could analyze your case and help you determine if you are entitled to financial compensation.

Understanding Spinal Injuries

The spinal cord is a major component of the nervous system. It connects the brain to the rest of the body, allowing signals to pass both ways. A spinal injury could prohibit the brain from controlling other parts of the body and prevent sensory input from transmitting from the skin to the brain. A severe injury could result in permanent or temporary paralysis.

The spinal cord is sensitive, meaning even small amounts of damage could be devastating. Spinal injuries could significantly limit an injury victim’s mobility and could result in them requiring assistance in meeting their own basic needs. Damage to the spine that does not result in paralysis could also lead to other serious consequences, including chronic pain, tingling, numbness, and aching muscles.

Any of these consequences can have a significant impact on the life of an injury victim. Thankfully, an experienced Opelousas attorney could help the victim of a spinal cord injury hold the liable party responsible.

Recoverable Damages in Opelousas

Given the potential for permanent injury, the damages in a spinal cord lawsuit can be significant. During the initial case evaluation, an Opelousas spinal cord injury attorney should carefully review the impact these injuries have on the potential plaintiff before pursuing a lawsuit. Some of the compensation commonly sought in these cases includes:

Loss of Future Earnings

Following a spinal injury, it is common for a victim’s future earning capacity to diminish. In some cases, they could be unable to return to work at all. This depends on the nature of the spinal injury, as victims that retain some motor skills might be able to move to a different position.

Disability

In many cases, a spinal cord injury victim will require ongoing care. This care could be as simple as a part-time housekeeper, but when these injuries are severe, a victim might require full-time attention. In a successful spinal cord injury claim, a plaintiff could recover compensation for these expenses with the help of a skilled Opelousas attorney.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation could also be available to a spinal cord injury victim for their physical pain. The suffering that comes with a spinal injury can be severe and often lasts for a lifetime.
