You Deserve Compensation When You Suffer A Spinal Cord Injury

On behalf of Lovett Law Firm posted in Spinal Cord Injuries on Thursday, April 28, 2016.

After you’re in a car accident or suffer a personal injury, one of the things you’ll have to do is adjust to your injury. If you’ve suffered a spinal cord injury, this can be difficult, since you may now have to deal with permanent pain,tingling sensations, permanent paralysis or other concerns. On top of that, you may be concerned about losing your income, being unable to work or living life at home while unable to do the things you once loved or enjoyed.

Permanent disabilities can be devastating, but you can adjust. As you learn to live with your condition, you’ll go through a phase of adjustment. There are several stages to adjustment; you may feel depressed, angry or be in denial. The first real stage after your injury is likely to be grief; you need to mourn the loss of your health to begin to heal.

It’s not uncommon to be angry about getting injured, and you may even bargain with yourself to try to make it seem like you can overcome a permanent injury. Eventually, most people will accept that the injury is semi- or completely permanent, and you will begin to learn to live your life with your injury.

Although you may learn to accept life with your spinal cord injury, you do deserve all the help you can be provided. The person who caused your injury should be held liable, so you can get the compensation you need to seek out the best medical care and to replace your lost income.
