Albany, GA Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis Lawyers 

The long-term medical and rehabilitative cost of a serious spinal cord injury can range from $500,000 to more than $3,000,000 during the injury victim’s lifetime. This does not even include the costs associated with permanent disability and the need for lifelong assistance, or the incredible loss of enjoyment of life that one derives from full use of one’s body. If a person suffers a serious spinal cord injury that was the fault of someone else, one’s prognosis for as normal a life as possible may be significantly impacted by choosing an experienced Georgia attorney who will obtain the best possible financial result to compensate you to the extent possible for your staggering emotional, physical and financial loss, including:

Loss of Income and Future Earning Capacity: The loss of your future lifetime earnings as a result of no longer being able to work at all or in the same capacity can be extremely significant. Our experienced spinal cord accident attorneys typically use vocational experts and economic experts who can help insurance adjusters or juries understand the extent of your economic loss.

Life Care Costs: Many people who suffer from spinal cord injuries need to be cared for by multiple people for the rest of their lives. We often use life planners who explain to a jury the nature of your future needs and associated costs.

Pain and Suffering/Loss of Enjoyment of Life: People who assess this type of loss to one’s life are called damage experts. They use economic studies to quantify the percentage by which your quality of life has been diminished. We may also use video and pictures that show a jury what your life was like before the accident and how your activities and interaction with your family will be affected after the accident. This type of damage can often be as high as or exceed your lost past and future income.
