Louisville, Indianapolis, and Evansville Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys Help Seriously Injured Victims

Serious personal injuries can be devastating, and the road to recovery can be long and difficult. Such injuries can prevent individuals from returning to work and their former way of life. Furthermore, the cost of coping with serious personal injuries can continue through one’s entire lifetime. Brain and spinal cord injuries are often the direct result of another’s careless actions or inaction, and the victim may hold the responsible party liable for causing such injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious personal injury due to another’s negligence, we encourage you to contact our law offices, serving Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville, to speak with spinal cord and brain injury attorneys who can help.

Costs and Compensation in Serious Injury Cases

The medical costs of serious personal injuries can be extreme, and their financial impact can last a lifetime. Besides the cost, victims must endure emotional distress due to their injuries and a drastically different way of life. For these reasons, victims of serious injury often collect compensation for medical costs, lost wages and loss of future earnings. There are also the issues of physical pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Victims of serious injury in the Louisville, Evansville, Indianapolis, and surrounding areas can depend on our brain and spinal cord injury attorneys at Gerling Law to pursue fair financial compensation from those at fault.

Types of Serious Personal Injury

Serious personal injuries result in severe physical and emotional suffering that can devastate a person’s quality of life, possibly rendering them unable to return to work and other activities. At our Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville law offices, our personal injury attorneys typically see brain and spinal cord injuries resulting from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and medical malpractice.

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries occur when there is damage to the spinal cord that results in long-lasting physical disabilities, impairment of physical sensation, or paralysis. It is estimated that there are over 10,000 new cases of spinal cord injuries each year in the United States, and more than 250,000 people currently live with a form of spinal cord injury. Our attorneys have helped many individuals throughout Evansville, Louisville, Indianapolis, and surrounding areas receive compensation for a spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injuries are typically caused by severe physical trauma, which is common with auto, motorcycle, or semi truck accidents. Spinal cord injuries can also result from medical malpractice in the case of an error occurring during a medical procedure. The severity of a spinal cord injury can be determined by the area of the spine at which the injury occurred. Injuries closer to the base of the skull, in the cervical section, have a greater affect on a person’s mobility than injuries that occur in lower sections of the spine.

When spinal cord injuries are the result of the actions of another, the victim may be able to collect compensation from the responsible party. Our attorneys at Gerling Law in Louisville, Evansville, and Indianapolis can help spinal cord injury victims win the compensation they deserve when their injuries are the result of another’s negligent actions.

Brain Injury

Brain injuries occur as the result of damage to the brain and supporting tissue. There are two types of brain injuries: traumatic brain injury and acquired brain injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury is caused by a penetrating injury, or an external force (such as a blow or jolt to the head) that disrupts brain function. Such injuries often occur in auto, motorcycle, and semi truck accidents, as well as slip and fall accidents. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that more than 5 million Americans currently need help performing daily activities as a result of a traumatic brain injury.

Acquired Brain Injury

Acquired brain injury is caused by an internal condition, such as the loss of oxygen during medical treatment. When an acquired brain injury has occurred as the result of the negligence of medical professionals, a medical malpractice claim may be filed.

Brain injury victims often face debilitating brain damage, loss of sensation and emotional control, and reduced cognitive ability. A lengthy rehabilitation process is often required. If these injuries are the result of the negligent actions of others, our Louisville, Evansville, and Indianapolis-area brain injury attorneys can help alleviate your financial burden by holding the responsible party accountable for your situation.
