Seattle Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
A spinal cord injury can have devastating, permanent effects on the life of the victim and his or her family. According to statistics approximately 11,000 spinal cord injuries occur on an annual basis, and the average age of spinal cord injury victims is 30. The costs associated with caring for a spinal cord injury victim can be astronomical. Victims and their families can expect to pay anywhere from $200,000 to more than $400,000 for medical expenses incurred during the first year after the injury.
Spinal cord injuries often result from events such as: car accidents, tractor trailers accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, construction site accidents, medical malpractice, and slip and fall accidents. If a victim's spinal cord injury resulted from another party's negligent actions or behavior, the negligent party may be held liable for damages. A Seattle spinal cord injury attorney can help victim's file a lawsuit and negotiate or litigate a fair settlement on the victim's behalf.
A spinal cord injury can result in permanent conditions such as tetraplegia or quadriplegia, hemiplegia, paraparesis, or paraplegia. A spinal cord injury can cause complete paralysis of the body from the neck down, paralysis on one side of the body only, partial paralysis of the lower extremities, or total paralysis of the lower portion of the body including both legs. Condition such as these require a lifetime of medical care, and over the victim's lifetime medical costs can easily exceed $1 million.
