Spinal Cord Injuries

A serious back injury due to a work-related accident many times includes spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries are life-changing, usually permanent and take years of rehabilitation. Any spinal cord damage can result in paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia. Not only are the physical ramifications extensive but the emotional trauma devastating to the individual and his or her family. The medical bills and costs for a lifetime of rehabilitation and care place a huge financial strain on families.

Worker's Compensation and Spinal Cord Injuries
When a back injury as severe as a spinal cord injury occurs on the job, the employee can obtain worker's compensation benefits. These include medical bills, lost wages and permanent disability.
Spinal cord injuries can include:
Sometimes there is more than one party at fault. In this type of situation, a worker can seek additional compensation from nonemployer parties through a personal injury lawsuit. In the case where a person dies as a result of their spinal cord injury, a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed on their behalf.
