Recoverable Damages for Someone in Lafayette With a Nerve Injury

Harvard Health describes the sensation of your foot “falling asleep” as abnormal pressure on your nerves. While this sort of temporary nerve compression goes away, those with nerve injuries must often live with similar kinds of discomfort. In severe cases like paralysis, a victim can lose all sensation in affected body parts. The specific type of injury you have suffered, and the unique array of symptoms the injury causes, will largely determine your damages. Our team will seek compensation for every damage related to your nerve damage, including:

The Cost of Diagnosing, Treating, and Rehabilitating Your Injury

Whether you have suffered a spinal cord injury, burn, or another injury that causes nerve damage, you’ll need extensive medical care. Medical professionals may:

  • Conduct testing to diagnose the source of your nerve damage
  • Evaluate you to determine the extent of nerve damage
  • Hospitalize you to monitor symptoms
  • Prescribe an extensive healthcare regimen including in-person visits, medication, and rehabilitation

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation notes that, in the case of paralyzing injuries, medical costs are immense. Non-paralyzing injuries may also carry a steep medical price tag.

Your Pain and Suffering

Any catastrophic injury can cause severe pain and suffering, including:

  • Shock
  • Depression
  • Suicidality
  • Anxiety
  • Lost quality of life
  • Loss of physical abilities

If you suffered your nerve damage injury in a traumatic circumstance, you may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Our legal team serving Lafayette will work alongside mental health experts to diagnose your pain and suffering.

Professional Damages

Nerve damage can interfere with many job types, including both labor-intensive and white-collar work. As a result, your injury in Lafayette may:

  • Cost you income
  • Diminish your earning power
  • Deprive you of benefits, bonuses, and promotions
  • Rob you of any joy or fulfillment your work brings

Professional damages can intensify the financial pressure you’re already experiencing. A nerve damage lawyer from our team will seek a financial recovery that relieves the pressure.

Medical Equipment

Those with spinal cord injuries or nerve damage that affects their mobility may need:

  • A motorized wheelchair
  • Modifications to their home
  • A vehicle that accommodates wheelchair transport
  • Modifications to their existing vehicle
  • Other medical and non-medical equipment related to their nerve damage

We will consider these and similar expenses as we calculate your settlement target.

Home Modifications

If your injuries require you to add ramps, handrails, and other modifications to your home, we’ll get estimates for those updates. You may have already gotten these updates by the time we negotiate a settlement, in which case we’ll rely on invoices for all home modifications.
