The spinal column is one of the most critical parts of the central nervous system and our body’s overall structure. Without a spine, our nerves and blood vessels would be left largely unprotected and we would no longer be able to stand upright. Because this body part is so important, injuries to the spine can result in serious problems. If you or a loved one has had a spinal injury caused by another person’s recklessness, please call a Chicago accident attorney as soon as possible.
We’ve all noticed how just a slight tweak in our spine from sleeping at a weird angle can result in pain all day long, so it is no wonder that a serious problem can result in lifelong pain, weakness, numbness or paralysis. Even a minor injury can result in mandatory bed rest and a few weeks out of work. Major back problems can result in the victim spending the rest of his or her life out of a job. Between the hospital expenses, medication costs, long-term therapy fees, lost wages and possible home renovations many victims experience, spinal injuries can quickly lead a well-to-do family into a life of poverty. When this injury was caused by someone else though, they should be the ones to pay for these expenses and your Chicago accident lawyer can make that happen.
When you work our attorneys, we can help ensure that you receive the maximum possible compensation for your or your loved one’s back injury. Your Chicago accident lawyer will work to get you a settlement that not only covers your expenses up to date, but also any future expenses related to the injury, any time spent out of work and we will also be sure you are compensated for your pain and emotional suffering.
If you have been injured due to the recklessness or carelessness of another person, please call our offices and schedule a free initial consultation with a skilled Chicago accident attorney.
