The spine is an essential feature of the human body, yet it is highly delicate and can be easily injured. Spinal cord injuries are often severe, and frequently cause paralysis and have devastating effects on a victim’s entire body. Victims of spinal cord injury often face a diminished ability to manage everyday activities and functions many of us take for granted, including:
While tremendous strides in medical technology have allowed spinal cord injury victims to regain some independence and functionality, damaged spinal tissue cannot be mended or regenerated. Victims of spinal cord injury are very rarely able to return to normal activity, and in many cases will never be able to hold a job and will need a lifetime of costly care. At Behnke, Martin & Schulte, L.L.C., our attorneys have worked with hundreds of families affected by spinal cord injuries, and we know that the prospect of a life spent physically disabled is only one of the many challenges victims must face. In addition to the physical repercussions of a spinal cord injury, many victims suffer severe psychological damage and depression as a result of their diminished capacities. Furthermore, the cost of medical and personal care can be staggering, especially for victims who are no longer able to financially support themselves. Our attorneys have experience defending the rights of spinal cord injury victims in a host of claims, including:
We know that no amount of money can make up for the trauma, pain, and insecurity that a spinal cord injury brings to your life. However, we also understand that financial compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages can help victims get the very best care and find a sense of security. If you or someone you love has suffered a spinal cord injury and another party’s negligence may be to blame, you need aggressive representation. At Behnke, Martin & Schulte, L.L.C., we will treat you with compassion and respect, and pursue your interests tenaciously until you have recovered the full compensation to which you are entitled.
