Paralysis Injury Lawyer in Michigan

Possible Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries causing paralysis can occur from a variety of sources. These might include:

  • Medical mistakes (surgical errors, anesthesia errors, birth trauma)
  • Falls (slip and falls, falls from heights)
  • Disease progression
  • Vehicle accidents
  • Work-related injuries

In most cases, spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis are caused by negligence and could have been preventable with more caution or preventative treatment.

Damages For Spinal Cord Injury

If negligence can be proven as the cause of your spinal cord injury, you may have the right to compensation. There are two types of damages your spinal cord injury attorney might pursue in a paralysis injury case that can result in significant settlement amounts.

Economic damages cover financial losses and include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Costs of medical equipment
  • Home or vehicle modifications
  • Loss of income

Non-economic damages are more challenging to prove as they are not tangible monetary losses but can be lucrative in a paralysis case for the plaintiff. They include pursuing compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of relationships
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In addition to pursuing damages in a lawsuit against the at-fault party, your lawyer can also help you file claims with your insurance company and appeal any claims that are rejected.
