Spinal Cord Injuries & Nerve Damage
Dallas Fort Worth Personal Injury Attorney David Kohm is Experienced in Spinal Cord Injury Settlements
Car accidents cases are something our personal injury law attorneys deals quite a bit with. As a result of so many accidents happening today it’s almost certain that if you’re in an accident you will sustain an injury to your neck or back. If you’ve been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury as a result of an accident, there are questions you should be asking.
Does the type of spinal injury I have make a difference towards the compensation I may receive?
Absolutely. Depending on the severity of damage, you could have a herniated disc injury or you could have life long spinal damage that will impact you for as long as you live. If you’re fortunate and you have a minimal spine injury, such as a soft tissue injury or a strained muscle injury, consider yourself blessed. These injuries normally heal over time, or with minimal physical treatment, in a relatively short period of time. With this type of injury, you should be back to your normal self within a minimum of a few weeks or a maximum of 3 or 4 months. Accordingly there won’t be a huge amount of compensation from this type of injury but all your medical bills should be handled, any damage to your vehicle, and any miscellaneous expenses you may incur.
If your unfortunate and have spinal cord damage that involves the discs between your vertebrae, your injury will more than likely be permanent, possibly require future surgery and ongoing physical therapy over the course of your life. This means our law firm will be seeking compensation for you to provide for all of your bills you have since the accident and bills you will have in the future.
How does your attorney prove back or neck injuries in court?
Our personal injury lawyers will first acquire copies of all your medical records. If necessary our attorneys will obtain testimony of one or more of your doctors by deposition or by testifying during the trial. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will ask the appropriate questions and obtain the necessary testimony, proving to the jury that you have damaging spinal injuries as required by law.
How is the value of your spinal cord injury case determined?
Every case is different, and the monetary compensation for each case is dependent on the facts of each particular case. Your medical bills, the cost of future medical care you will need, time you have missed from work, work you will miss in the future, your ability to continue to work in your present profession, physical impairments, and physical and mental pain, are all determining factors in the final settlement.
We know that spinal cord injuries can be very debilitating and our job is to get you the best results to compensate you for the severity of your disability.
