Automobile Accidents and Spinal Cord Injury

The most common cause of spinal cord injury in the United States is automobile accidents. Half of all spinal cord injuries in this country are the result of an automobile accident. Spinal cord injuries can result from an accident involving a rollover or a collision as well as a roof collapse or seatbelt failure, or a seemingly mild rear end collision.

Severe spinal cord injuries resulting from an automobile accident can cause nerve damage, partial paralysis, total paralysis and even death.

Automobile accidents are often the result of negligent or reckless drivers or automobile manufacturer defects. The costs of treatment and rehabilitation, if you survive, are astronomical. Rehabilitation is a long and painful process. Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs are extremely expensive. It is estimated that lifetime treatment costs can be well over $3,000,000.00.

If you have suffered a serious spinal cord injury it is important to consult an experienced attorney, knowledgeable in this field to protect your rights. You will often be left with permanent disabilities that lead to a lifetime of medical and legal issues. At times, these injuries do not appear immediately, but present themselves after time has passed.

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to an automobile accident, please contact an automobile accident attorney in your area today to learn your legal rights and recover the appropriate financial compensation due you.
