Such injuries can be life-altering and devastating for you and your loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victims often have to rely on extensive medical and assisted care, which can be costly. The good news is that you may be entitled to compensation if you suffered a spinal cord injury at the hands of a negligent driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering filing a claim, here\u2019s everything you need to know about car accidents and spinal injuries in California.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should See a Doctor Immediately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A spine injury is always a medical emergency, and immediate medical evaluation is paramount anytime you\u2019re involved in a car accident. Emergency medical personnel will take precautions at the accident scene to prevent further spinal injuries. They will immobilize your head and neck to prevent movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A doctor may need to perform a physical exam and diagnostic tests to determine whether you have an injury at the hospital. These may include blood tests, X-rays, a CT or CAT scan, and an MRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal treatment recommended for this injury will depend on your age, the extent of the spinal cord injury (SCI), the type of SCI, the expected course of the SCI, and other factors. Surgery may be deemed necessary to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Evaluate the injured spinal cord<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Release pressure from the affected area<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stabilize any fractured backbones<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage other injuries that may have resulted from the accident<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovering from an injury to the spinal cord requires long-term hospitalization and rehabilitation. An interdisciplinary team of specialists works to help control pain and monitor heart function, bladder and bowel function, blood pressure, nutrition status, and body temperature. Depending on the specifics of your case, your doctor may recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Observation and medication management in the ICU<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bladder catheter<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feeding tube<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mechanical ventilator<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While all of the above may sound expensive and scary, prompt treatment and adhering to the treatment plan are crucial to reclaiming your life. It\u2019s the best chance to prevent permanent damage to the spinal cord and maximize your chances of recovery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Worth of Spinal Cord Injuries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact amount of compensation a spinal cord injury victim can receive in California depends on their specific damages. The damages vary from case to case and often include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Expenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The average cost of a spine injury within the first year ranges from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.christopherreeve.org\/living-with-paralysis\/costs-and-insurance\/costs-of-living-with-spinal-cord-injury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$300,000 to $1 million<\/a>. They start falling after that to $42,000-$200,000 depending on your prognosis, treatment protocols, and other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lost Wages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An injury can deter your ability to work either temporarily or permanently. You may be able to seek compensation for lost wages if your spinal injury makes it impossible to continue on your career path or earn as much money as you would otherwise. Lost wages cover the loss of current and future income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spinal injuries cause significant distress for the injured and their loved ones. You can claim compensation for physical pain, lost quality of life, and emotional distress you experience due to a vehicular spinal injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loss of Consortium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spinal cord injuries can make it difficult to have a normal, loving relationship. This may include sexual dysfunction and paralysis of the sexual organs. You may also be entitled to compensation for losing other aspects of your relationship, like the ability to take family vacations, care for the children, and enjoy meaningful activities with your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An injury to the spinal cord can render you unable to move all or part of your body, making it difficult to move on with your life. This disability may make you feel socially disconnected or make it impossible to enjoy things you previously enjoyed. You have the right to pursue compensation if your spinal injury leads to a catastrophic change in circumstances.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Legal Representation Aid Your Spinal Cord Injury Claim?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A devastating injury like SCI can constitute grounds for a\u00a0<a href=\"\/the-fine-print\/5-types-of-car-accident-injuries-that-may-appear-after-a-crash\/\">personal injury claim<\/a>\u00a0in California.
