Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Lawyers
Pennsylvania spinal cord injuries (SCIs) don't just affect a person's ability to walk—this pervasive injury bears an emotional toll as well, often causing depression. Losing the ability to drive to work, play with children, or even walk across the room to answer the phone is an unimaginable loss. Lives are changed, as SCIs are often accompanied by permanent damage.
When Pennsylvania spinal cord injuries happen because of someone else's negligence or misconduct, the frustration and angst is compounded. Not only are spinal cord injuries painful and lasting, they are costly and can involve additional complications.
The Mayo Clinic reports that nearly half of all spinal cord injuries in the U.S. are caused by auto accidents and motorcycle accidents. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of SCIs in those under 65 years of age, while those over 65 generally suffer spinal cord injuries in a slip and fall accident.
The Pennsylvania spinal cord injury lawyers at Ostroff Injury Law will fight for the compensation you need when you're suffering from a SCI. Our personal injury law firm is well-versed in spinal cord injury law and will do what it takes to get the money you need to make living with your injury easier.
Why You Need a Lawyer
Pennsylvania spinal cord injuries often involve more than just an injury to your back and a loss of function and mobility. If someone else caused your injury, hiring a Pennsylvania spinal cord injury attorney will help you get the money you need to cover all of your expenses related to the accident. There are several complications that often come along with SCIs, including:
- Bed sores
- Trouble breathing
- Urinary tract infections
- Muscle spasms
- Blood clots and blocked arteries
- Inability to sense pain
- Weight control problems
- Sexual dysfunction
- Susceptibility to new injuries, and more
As days go by, more damage can also happen because of swelling and bleeding. Spinal cord injuries aren't always obvious and some symptoms can come on well after an accident happens. Treatment can be very involved and costly, including medications and equipment, rehabilitation, long hospital stays, and invasive surgeries. Treatment is expensive, and care can be a lifelong commitment.
Nearly 200,000 people are living with a spinal cord injury in the U.S. today, and another 11,000 people sustain a SCI every single year.* All of these people are coping with the wide-spread effects of a serious injury and relying on medicine, equipment, rehabilitation, and loved ones to get them through the day-to-day.
