Spinal Cord Injury Available Damages

Answer:

We often get asked by spinal cord injury clients, “What are the damages that I can recover? What is it that I can get?” Spinal cord injury cases are different from other types of injuries in that by definition, this is a catastrophic injury case. The damages are generally pretty high.

You can recover your medical expenses. You can recover your lost income, your lost wages if you have them. You can also recover what are called intangible damages. Pain and suffering we’ve all heard of, but there are a whole list of others such as inconvenience. Loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life is one that’s very large for someone who’s had their life turned upside down with a spinal cord injury. Not only that, future losses are recoverable, as well. We talk about things like life care plans which map out your future medical expenses, your other expenses down the road that will be incurred and that you can recover for. These are all damages which are recoverable. You need an experienced lawyer to know what those damages are and put them together.
