Devastating Effects of a Spinal Injury
A spinal cord injury can have life-altering consequences that affect your physical, mental, and financial well-being.
For example, one of the most significant impacts of a spinal cord injury is the ongoing costs of treatment and care. Medical expenses can quickly become astronomical, including surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation therapy. Additionally, you may require assistive devices such as wheelchairs, braces, and specialized medical equipment.
These ongoing expenses can quickly deplete savings and create a financial burden that may last a lifetime. Beyond the financial implications, living with a paralyzing spinal injury introduces ongoing risks of severe health complications. Individuals who are paralyzed may experience respiratory issues, urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, and muscle spasticity, among other complications. These health issues require consistent monitoring and appropriate medical interventions to minimize potential risks and ensure the best possible quality of life.
The effects of a spinal cord injury extend beyond the physical, affecting all aspects of your personal and professional life. The emotional toll can be devastating for both the injured individual and their loved ones. Additionally, the injury may impact the ability to resume work or pursue desired careers, resulting in financial strain and further emotional distress. A paralyzing spinal injury has devastating effects that extend far beyond the physical limitations. Fassold Trial Law is the right firm for this type of high-stakes case.
