How Spine Injuries Happen and What to Do Afterward

Spinal cord injuries may result from any number of violent accidents, including motor vehicle crashes on busy roadways like I-65, slip and fall accidents anywhere in the city, or even workplace accidents that occur in one of Birmingham’s many industrial and construction sites.

These injuries are often life-threatening, so it is important that you:

  • Get emergency medical care immediately
  • Follow all of your doctor’s instructions
  • Continue treatment for as long as necessary

If possible, you can also start collecting evidence that may be useful in your personal injury claim. This could include photos of the accident scene, witness contact information, and the at-fault party’s insurance information.

Do not risk your health to collect these materials, however. Spinal cord injuries can be very dangerous, and you should always prioritize your health over collecting evidence.

Regardless of whether you are able to gather evidence at the accident scene, our spine injury lawyer can work hard to pursue a personal injury settlement that covers all of your losses, including:

  • Past and future medical bills (especially important in spine injury cases, as treatment can be expensive and ongoing)
  • Loss of wages and earning capacity
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Physical or intellectual disability
  • Lost independence and reduced quality of life

The money you recover through a legal action can make it easier for you to get the care you need and support your loved ones, no matter what your prognosis is. This can take a big weight off your shoulders and allow you to focus on planning for your future without worrying about your financial stability.
