Spine Injuries
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Injuries to the spinal column can range from a disk bulge to a severed spinal cord leading to paralysis. Milder spinal injuries can be treated with conservative, non-surgical treatment such as physical therapy. Others may require epidural injections or surgical intervention. Surgery often involves installing hardware to decompress and stabilize the spine at the affected level(s). Regardless of the severity of the injury, spinal conditions are generally debilitating and life-altering. These injuries also require the assistance of an attorney who is familiar with the medicine involved, and who can appreciate the long-term effects. In cases of severe spinal cord injury involving partial or complete paralysis, the attorney must be familiar with the required proof of the cost of long-term care, which can be very complex and requires the careful use of appropriate expert witnesses.
