A spinal cord injury can be catastrophic, inflicting permanent or long-term damage on the survivor. The spinal column is responsible for connecting the brain to the body. It sends messages that control movement and sensation. When an accident such as a car crash or bad fall causes a spinal cord injury, the victim could suffer permanent paralysis or other catastrophic injuries.

How a Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Can Benefit You
Do not accept the first settlement that comes your way from an insurance company after an accident that causes a spinal cord injury. It may be far less than the true value of your significant injury. Talk to an attorney about your case before settling. You should also contact a lawyer if an insurance company is refusing to offer anything.
A lawyer can force insurance companies to treat your claim honestly and fairly, as well as offer a reasonable amount for your damages. If necessary, a lawyer can take your spinal cord injury case to trial in Des Moines County for maximum recovery.
Common Causes of Spine and Back Injuries in Des Moines
Most spine injury claims revolve around the legal doctrine of negligence. It will be necessary for you or your attorney to prove someone else’s negligence caused your injury. This will take an investigation into the cause of your injury, as well as what could have been done differently to prevent the accident. Our spinal cord injury lawyers accept spine injury claims involving many types of accidents.
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Work injuries
- Falls
- Sports and recreational incidents
- Medical malpractice
- Bullet or stab wounds
These are the most common causes of neck, back and spinal cord injuries in Iowa. No matter what circumstances caused you or a loved one’s injury, speak to us to learn your rights. One or more parties may owe you compensation for your past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
The Lifelong Costs of a Spinal Cord Injury
It is important to hire an attorney to represent you during a spinal cord injury claim due to the life-changing nature of these injuries. A severe spinal cord injury such as high or low tetraplegia could cause the permanent loss of movement and sensation below the point of injury. This could lead to a lifetime of medical care costs such as medical devices, live-in care, medications, rehabilitation, therapies, and doctor’s appointments.
According to the Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the average lifetime cost of a spine injury can vary from about $1.1 million to $4.7 million depending on the age of the victim and the severity of the injury. These are medical costs alone. With pain, suffering, lost wages, lost quality of life, lost services, and many other damages accounted for, your claim could be worth several million or more. Trust a spinal cord injury attorney from Trial Lawyers for Justice to advocate on your behalf to obtain the highest possible settlement or verdict for your significant losses.
