Head and Spinal Cord Injuries

Raleigh, North Carolina Closed Head Injury Attorney

The cost of a head or spinal cord injury is often substantial. In order to ensure my clients receive compensation proportional to their losses, I work closely with medical economists, life care planners, and vocational rehabilitation professionals when determining the financial impact of a serious head or spinal cord injury. If an insurance company tries to challenge the severity of my client’s injuries, I consult medical experts who can verify the scope and extent of the head or spinal cord injuries involved. Additionally, when presenting cost analyses, I look at costs associated with surgeries, hospitalization, in-home nursing care, medical equipment, and lost wages and the long term side effects of head and spine injury. I also consider the effect these injuries have on the family of the accident victim.

As a result, they use teams of accident investigators, medical experts, and attorneys to try and shift any blame they can onto you, the injury victim.
