Our Spindale spinal cord injury lawyer will also help you demand a range of additional recoverable damages.
At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we handle every part of your case, from investigation to resolution. While we handle the details, you can focus on getting better without compromising the timeliness of your case. Leave it to us. Our personal injury lawyers will fight for the compensation you deserve.
Our Law Firm Will Document the Cause of Your Spinal Cord Injury
When we take on your case, the first thing we do is listen to your version of events with kindness and compassion. Our Spindale personal injury lawyer wants to know the cause of your accident so we can identify the at-fault party and their insurance company. We help clients injured in:
- All motor vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian and cyclist accidents
- Dog bite or attack cases
- Criminal assault cases
- Medical malpractice cases
No at-fault party or insurance provider is too big or too small for us to pursue. We will determine who bears financial liability for your injury and build the strongest possible case for you.
Evidence We Collect to Prove the Ongoing Costs of Your Injury
According to Mayo Clinic research, diagnosing and treating a spinal cord injury can require costly and extensive care. Damage to your spinal cord injury cannot be reversed. Treatment will focus on stopping any further damage from occurring and on giving you the coping skills you need.
Depending on the severity of your injury and the resulting disability, treatment can include:
- Emergency care and stabilization
- Breathing assistance, as needed
- IV medications, as needed
- Immobilization via traction or braces
- Surgical procedures
We will collect your medical bills and proof of your prognosis to assess the costs of your past, present, and future medical costs. Understanding future costs is crucial to avoid having your case underestimated or underpaid.
Even after your case is settled, you might still require rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, modifications to your home, and in-home medical support. Our spinal cord accident attorney will include these costs in your compensation request. Doing so can help you avoid an insufficient settlement now and financial hardship later.
Additional Compensation Our Law Firm Can Seek for You
Medical bills, while extensive, are only one form of the economic damages you can recover. We also demand current and future loss of income and property damage, loss, and diminished value. Recoverable non-economic damages include:
- Physical disability
- Physical disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
The loss of a loved one due to a spinal cord injury could entitle your family to wrongful death damages, including funeral, burial, and cremation costs and loss of your loved one’s financial and domestic support. We will also request compensation for your loss of consortium, companionship, guidance, and support.
North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations Is Critical to Your Case
Your case is subject to the state’s statute of limitations. In general, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years, according to G.S. § 1-52. Similarly, the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to G.S. § 1-53.
If the filing deadline is not met:
- You will not be permitted to file your case in court.
- The at-fault party’s representatives will request its dismissal.
- You will have no legal remedy that compels the at-fault party to compensate you.
Either of these outcomes could mean you suffer financial hardship due to another person’s negligence. Our spinal cord injury attorney will help you accurately assess your damages and file your lawsuit within the allotted time.
