Would you be surprised that about half of spinal cord injuries sustained in the U.S. are sustained in car accidents? Would it further surprise you to learn that many of those spinal cord injuries occur in accidents with commercial trucks? Clearly, truck accidents can result in personal injury but a spinal cord injury is often a catastrophic injury. In many cases, when the spinal cord is damaged it can’t repair itself – which means injuries to it are more likely than not permanent.
Are you eligible for compensation?
If you’ve suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a commercial truck accident then you may be eligible for compensation for your medical costs, modifications required to your lifestyle, rehabilitation costs, adaptive technologies, modifications required for your home, lost wages – both current and past, and pain and suffering. The best way to find out if you’re eligible and what your options may be is to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free case evaluation.
The consequences of spinal cord injuries can be very serious
Most people are not surprised to learn that the consequences of spinal cord injuries can be extremely serious. Even supposedly minor spinal cord injuries can lead to long-term issues. They may include loss of physical sensation and / or motor function, paralysis, issues with respiration, over-activity of the nervous system, and sexual issues.
Many of these conditions lead to the need for long-term rehabilitation and the use of adaptive technologies like wheelchairs. You may need to make changes to your home in order to safely and functionally live there. You may even require special medical care. If this was all caused by a truck accident then there’s a good chance you are owed compensation. We are here and ready to fight for your rights and to ensure you get what you’re owed.
