If a person is injured in an accident and sustains trauma to his or her neck and spinal cord, the individual may be at risk for a number of serious health repercussions. Even mild neck and spinal cord injuries can have long-term consequences, resulting in considerable physical pain and emotional suffering. These injuries often require substantial medical care, both for immediate treatment as well as follow-up care and rehabilitation to promote healing and recovery. Overall, this can result in a frustrating financial burden, especially if the accident was caused by someone else.
Injuries to the spinal cord in the neck area can produce serious complications that may last for months or years, if not leaving a person disabled for the rest of his or her life. These health concerns may include the following:
Treatment or disability management options may be available for many of these complications, but this kind of medical care can prove very expensive. However, the person or party at fault for your injury may be obligated to cover the costs of your treatment.
A neck or spinal cord injury caused by someone else’s negligent conduct may leave you facing a serious financial burden that can be difficult to handle without full compensation from the party responsible for the injury.
