20 Jun Understanding Catastrophic Spinal Cord Injuries: Your Legal Options in Long Island
When tragedy strikes in the form of a catastrophic injury, the impact on a victim and their family can be overwhelming. One of the most devastating types of catastrophic injuries is a spinal cord injury (SCI). These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, drastically altering the victim’s quality of life. At Gruenberg Kelly Della, our Long Island personal injury attorneys are here to help you navigate the complex legal landscape and fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
What Is a Catastrophic Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury is considered catastrophic because it causes long-term or permanent disability. These injuries often result from traumatic events such as:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and falls
- Workplace accidents
- Sports injuries
- Acts of violence
Depending on the severity and location of the injury, the effects can range from limited mobility to full paraplegia or quadriplegia. In addition to physical limitations, victims may experience chronic pain, respiratory problems, loss of bowel and bladder control, and significant emotional and psychological trauma.
The Financial and Emotional Toll
Spinal cord injuries often require extensive medical treatment, including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care. The cost of this care can easily climb into the millions over a lifetime. For many families, this financial burden is compounded by the loss of income, as the injured individual may no longer be able to work.
On top of the financial strain, families must also cope with profound emotional changes. The injured person may need constant assistance with daily activities, leading to stress and burnout for loved ones who take on caregiving roles.
