A spinal cord injury can change the course of your life in an instant. Whether the result of a car accident, a fall, or a construction site incident, spinal cord injuries often lead to partial or complete paralysis and require lifelong medical care. GroverLawKC fights for spinal cord injury victims and their families in Kansas City.
The Catastrophic Nature of Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When it is damaged, the consequences can be devastating. Complete spinal cord injuries result in total loss of motor function and sensation below the level of injury. Incomplete injuries may preserve some function but often still result in significant impairment. Tetraplegia (quadriplegia) and paraplegia are common outcomes of severe spinal cord injuries.
The financial costs of a spinal cord injury are staggering. First-year costs alone can exceed $1 million for severe injuries, and lifetime costs can reach several million dollars, encompassing medical care, assistive equipment, home modifications, and personal care assistance.
Proving Your Spinal Cord Injury Claim
Building a spinal cord injury case requires thorough documentation of liability and damages. We investigate the accident thoroughly to establish the defendant's negligence, and work with neurologists, physical therapists, rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners to document the full extent of your injuries and long-term needs.
We also obtain vocational expert testimony to quantify the loss of your earning capacity — the jobs and opportunities that are no longer accessible to you because of your injury.
