On average, the length of the hospitalization following a serious spinal cord injury is 15 days, at a cost of approximately $140,000. That doesn’t include the additional expenses that are incurred in just the first year following a spinal cord injury, which can almost reach $200,000.
These numbers don’t even take into account the loss of earning potential suffered by those who have been seriously injured, or the increased financial burden sustained by those who aren’t fortunate enough to have private health insurance.
For these reasons and countless others, it’s crucial that you involve a car accident attorney in Atlanta who has handled both spinal cord injury cases and claims against truck companies in the past.
Insurance providers for commercial vehicle companies are notoriously aggressive, and the complexity of prognosis and future treatment costs for a spinal cord injury demand that your case be handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Speak with a spinal cord injury lawyer in a no-cost consultation about your case.
