Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys in Kenner & Covington, Louisiana

People who suffer spinal cord injuries often talk about their lives as having two stages: life before their accident and life after it. This is because of the profound effects that spinal cord injuries cause. Loss of mobility and discomfort due to partial paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia are just the symptoms that are obvious to outsiders.

Depending on the severity of the injury, previously routine tasks such as eating, bathing, using the bathroom, or even breathing, can become enormous challenges.

Other Spine Injuries

The law firm also assists less seriously injured clients who have debilitating conditions involving:

• Cervical injury/spinal injury resulting in radiating nerve pain

• Vertebral disk herniation resulting in sharp pain, heat or numbness

• Fractured or crushed vertebrae caused by blunt force impacts or falls

• Whiplash

• Chronic neck and back pain

If you have lost coordination in your arms or legs, or are experiencing sharp pains, numbness or a sensation of “electricity,” you may have suffered a neck or back injury. If so, it is important that you seek medical treatment immediately to prevent further injury to your spinal cord, the nerves that branch from your spinal cord, as well as muscles and tissues.

Treatment can relieve your immediate pain, and it can prevent your injury from getting worse. It can also benefit you when you seek compensation from any negligent parties or their insurers. By getting a diagnosis and starting a process of medical treatment documentation, you can create a paper trail that can be used in making claims to insurers or in a lawsuit.

Compensation For Long-Term Care

By gathering evidence from your accident reports and medical reports, the Louisiana personal injury law firm can prepare for your success in court or in settlement negotiations. They also have access to medical experts, vocational rehabilitation specialists and other qualified parties who can provide expert advice/medical/care regarding your condition and your prospects moving forward.

Finally, they can help you document your medical expenses so that the true costs of your medical condition can be presented as proof for your need for compensation.
