If you have been injured in an accident that has left you with a serious spinal cord injury, you may be facing expensive treatment and long-term recovery. All of this can be extremely costly, particularly when coupled with lost income.
A South Carolina personal injury attorney can advise you not only on what type of claim to file but what type of compensation you may be entitled to received after suffering a spinal cord injury.
Treatment of spinal cord injuries will depend not only on the extent of damage to the spinal cord but any additional medical complications that arise.
Some of the types of treatment that may be administered after a spinal cord injury in a South Carolina accident include:
- steroid drugs to reduce swelling;
- immobilization;
- medication for pain and to improve certain functioning;
- surgery;
- experimental treatments;
- physical therapy;
- medical devices (wheelchair, computer adaptations, electronic aids, etc.);
- occupational therapy; and
- rehabilitation.
When you have received a spinal cord injury in a South Carolina accident that was the result of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover damages in a claim. Consulting with a South Carolina truck accident lawyer can help you determine if you should proceed with filing a personal injury claim.
