Savannah Spinal Cord Injury Victims Lawyers

You’ve Suffered A Drastic Change.

Spinal cord injuries are often the result of a sudden, severe blow to the spine and can result in partial or total paralysis, depending on the severity and location of the injury. Partial paralysis will leave the patient with some function and feeling, but they may experience numbness, tingling, and other complications. Total paralysis will result in the complete loss of sensation and feeling below the injury site.

At Montlick, we understand that our clients suffering from spinal cord injuries will experience considerable financial repercussions.

Victims of spinal injuries can experience a variety of complications including a loss of sensation or movement, numbness, tingling, impaired breathing, paraplegia, and quadriplegia.

Among the spinal cord injury population, depression is a common secondary health complication that may occur along with chronic pain, pressure injuries, spasticity, change in bowel and bladder function, and a change in how the brain processes pleasure.

Spinal Cord Injury Severity

Spinal cord injuries can be financially catastrophic. Your exact costs will depend greatly on the extent of your injury, but common expenses associated with a spinal cord injury include:

• Medical bills
• Surgical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Caregiver expenses
• Loss of wages
• Loss of future wages or permanent disability
• Wheelchair and medical equipment expenses

These expenses can quickly amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, estimates the costs of spinal cord injuries to be around $347,484 in the first year and $42,206 each subsequent year. Total paralysis expenses can run much higher, with paraplegia costs estimated at around $518,904 the first year and $68,000 each following year.

Simply put, the average family cannot afford these costs, many of which will not be covered by health insurance.
