Back Injury Lawyers for Clients in white rock and the Lower Mainland
Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious types of accident injuries, and often have lifelong impact. In some cases, a severe spinal cord injury can lead to permanent paralysis and conditions such as paraplegia or quadriplegia, which can limit your ability to return to work.
The law firm of Hambrook & Company provides dedicated support and guidance for victims of spinal cord injuries and their families throughout the Greater Vancouver Area. Lawyers of the firm seek to help clients obtain the compensation they need to manage medical expenses and maintain financial stability during recovery and into the future.
Benefits for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
The amount of accident benefits available for spinal cord injury victims depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, location and overall effect of the injury on one's mobility. Those with spinal cord injuries may be entitled to receive compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Loss of past income before the claim was filed
- Loss of future income
- Loss of enjoyment of life, in certain cases
In addition to benefits outlined above, individuals may also be entitled to receive disability benefits should they suffer partial or total paralysis. These benefits are designed to cover the costs of future care, including expenses for supportive equipment (specialized wheelchairs, mobility aids, etc.), attendant care, occupational therapy, vocational counselling and psychiatric counselling.
Once a settlement is reached, individuals cannot seek further compensation should any needs arise in the future. Working with a personal injury lawyer up front can be beneficial to ensure you receive the full amount of compensation you may need, both now and in the future.
