What Funds do You Get for Your Spinal Cord Injury?

If someone else causes you to experience a spinal cord injury, you may file a claim for damages to cover your:

Medical Expenses

The treatments for spinal cord injuries focus on mitigating the severity of the injury and helping you deal with the effects of the accident. These injuries can leave you paralyzed and dealing with lifelong pain.  Your attorney can help you seek funds to cover your immediate medical costs and expenses for long-term care. You may get damages for medications, assistive devices, and rehabilitation services. 

Lost Earning Potential

A spinal cord injury may prevent you from returning to work after an accident. We focus on the bonuses, raises, and wages you lost as well as your diminished earning capacity. 

Pain and Suffering

Our team also looks at your non-economic losses after an accident. We can assess the impact of your emotional pain and mental anguish on your life. We also factor in the loss of consortium or companionship for our clients. 

How does a Martinsville Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Help?

Hiring a lawyer after an accident means you’ll have professional assistance with every aspect of your legal claim. We can step in to: 

Provide Immediate Guidance

We offer support and advice throughout the legal process. You can reach out to us at any time if you have questions about the best way to handle your claim.  In addition to working with a lawyer, make sure that you report the accident that resulted in your spinal cord injury and make it to all doctor’s appointments to get appropriate treatment. 

Collect Evidence

Our team can investigate what caused your accident in Martinsville. We use a variety of investigative strategies developed over our many years of service. Depending on your situation, we may focus on:
  • Interviewing witnesses who saw your accident
  • Visiting the location where your accident occurred 
  • Looking for videos or photos of the accident
  • Working with spinal cord injury experts 
Your attorney can use the information recovered to build a solid claim for compensation on your behalf. 

Resolve Your Case

Finally, we focus on resolving your claim and bringing you fair damages for your losses. Our team can negotiate with insurance companies, focusing on settling your case out of court in many situations.  However, we may discuss a lawsuit for some clients. Review available methods to get the funds you need today. 

Why Work With Our Spinal Cord Injury Team?

Our team at Vaughan & Vaughan has over 100 years of experience as a personal injury law firm in Indiana. We’ve secured millions in compensation for clients like you over decades of service, allowing us to handle complex cases confidently.  We put our clients first, listening to all of your concerns after an accident and providing you with guidance each step of the way. We address legal challenges so you can save your energy for your recovery.  We can explain the personal claim process to you and help with negotiations or a lawsuit.

What does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You can work with a spinal cord injury attorney on a contingency basis. Therefore, we receive a different amount of payment for each claim we take on because we get a percentage of your financial compensation.  We only receive payment for our legal fees after resolving your case. 

What’s the Time Limit to File a Spinal Cord Injury Claim?

Our clients must file their personal injury cases before Indiana’s statute of limitations expires. Generally, you need to seek damages within two years of the date of your accident to qualify for compensation.  The court can set aside requests for compensation outside of the statute of limitations, so it’s essential to monitor this deadline carefully.  Getting help right away after an accident protects your ability to secure compensation. This step also helps your lawyer collect evidence before it disappears. Additionally, make sure you seek medical care quickly and report your accident.

I have been involved in a couple accidents that havent been my fault. My other attorney was horrible...he never called back, never explained anything. If you asked questions, he would make me feel as if I were incompetent. Elizabeth is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to follow up on everything! Elizabeth always calls or emails back typically the same day. More times than not, she will get back in just an hour or less of leaving a message. I know I'm not their only client, but the way I am treated, makes me feel as if I am. I knew my previous attorney was horrible by the end of it all, but didnt realize just how horrible until I hired Vaughan and Vaughan.

I was involved in my first serious car accident and didn't know what to do. The other party had admitted fault and their insurance company wanted to offer me a very low dollar amount to settle. When I sensed that something was amiss, I immediately called Mr. Vaughn at Vaughn & Vaughn Law Firm. He and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took me through the process step-by-step and made sure that I was comfortable and informed with all decisions made. Mr. Vaughn was not only able to address my medical, property, and personal expenses, he also considered the physical long-term effects of my health as a result of this accident. I was able to settle for a much higher dollar amount that they initially offered. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. If he cannot help you, he will refer you to someone who can. As his firm truly believes, once you hire the firm of Vaughn & Vaughn, you are a part of the family.
