Columbia Spinal Cord Injuries Lawyers

Damage to the spinal cord can significantly affect a person’s life, and may even make him or her dependent on others for physical and financial needs. These types of injuries can stem from a number of accidents, but frequently arise in car accidents, medical error incidents, falling accidents, construction accidents, and similar types of situations. The dependence that’s often created after a spinal cord injury can be financially exhaustive for the victim, with medical and other costs in play. But the attorneys of the Goings Law Firm, LLC know that many Columbia residents have the opportunity to take legal action that might result in financial compensation to help them cover any resulting costs they may incur.

Two Common Spinal Cord Injuries

Though there are numerous ways to damage the spinal cord, and many possible effects of spinal cord damage, two conditions stand out among injuries that can debilitate a victim. These are:

Paraplegia
Quadriplegia

Paraplegia is partial paralysis, while quadriplegia refers to total paralysis. Both conditions can make living a “normal” life extremely difficult, even impossible, and also very costly. Victims might have to rely on family members or medical teams to maintain their daily lives. However, victims also might not have to face their condition without assistance.

It’s almost impossible to know exactly when a case will conclude or how long an individual personal injury case will take, as the length of time that these cases can take varies so much based on unique case distinctions. If your case requires witness testimony, the collection of a lot of evidence, general delays in proceedings, or other time-consuming aspects, then it might take longer than one in which these things are not required. However, the best way to get an estimate of how long a case might take is to talk with an experienced attorney from the Goings Law Firm, LLC about the specifics of your situation
