How Our Ann Arbor Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Determine Your Damages in a Spinal Cord Injury Claim
Our law firm takes the responsibility of valuing your damages in a spinal cord injury accident very seriously. You may need compensation to cover the economic and non-economic harm you have suffered for the remainder of your life, and spinal cord injury cases are nuanced and complex by nature.
Expect your Ann Arbor catastrophic injury attorney to work with experts in spinal cord injuries as we determine the cost of:
Past, Present, and Future Medical Care
If you have already received emergency care or any other treatment for your SCI, we will secure medical records and include that care in our settlement valuation. Your attorney will also account for the cost of any future:
- Surgeries
- Hospital stays
- Specialist appointments
- Rehabilitation services
Christensen Law will closely monitor your recovery without ever infringing on your privacy or need for space. We work closely with medical professionals so that we truly understand our clients’ medical needs, progress in recovery, and healthcare costs.
Pain and Suffering
Spinal cord injuries can be among the most devastating health issues one may face, especially when the SCI is disabling. Pain and suffering resulting from a spinal cord injury may include:
- Physical pain, sensation changes, and the loss of physical abilities
- Depression and anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- Lost quality of life
- Unwanted changes in personal and romantic relationships
We will demand compensation to address your physical rehabilitation as well as your mental and emotional well-being.
Professional Losses You May Suffer
When symptoms of a spinal cord injury affect someone professionally, resulting damages may include the loss of:
- Income
- Bonus opportunities
- Promotion and career advancement opportunities
- Earning capacity
Our attorneys always consider professional damages when leading personal injury cases in Ann Arbor, or anywhere else in Michigan.
Economic and Non-Economic Damages Specific to a Disability
Many spinal cord injuries cause long-term and even lifelong disabilities, and some challenges that can come with disabling health conditions include:
- Being unable to work or earn a living while disabled (which could mean the rest of your life)
- Facing greater-than-average pain and suffering, as disabilities can be difficult challenges to cope with
- Bearing the cost of medical equipment, a disability-accommodating vehicle, changes to your home, and other expenses
- Possibly requiring loved ones or professional caregivers to assist you daily
Our legal team has achieved many multi-million-dollar awards for our clients, including the highest-ever personal injury verdict in Michigan at the time. Our personal injury law firm will take the steps necessary to accurately value your injury. We will even hire experts in medicine and finance to assess your case if necessary.
The Process of Building Your Ann Arbor Spinal Cord Injury Case
One of our qualities is our ability to connect with our clients on a personal level. This allows us to create cases that are unique to each client, and to argue passionately for a fair financial recovery because we truly understand what our client is going through.
Our spinal cord injury lawyers do, however, handle many common responsibilities across similar cases, which include:
- Proving who caused the SCI: We have the resources to investigate our clients’ spinal cord injuries and secure evidence of negligence. Video footage, your testimony, witness testimony, admissions of wrongdoing by at-fault parties, and other types of evidence help us prove fault for your injury.
- Forming a case plan: Your Ann Arbor spinal cord injury lawyer will weigh all relevant information and propose a personalized case strategy. If you have any questions about the strategy, we will answer them before proceeding—we want you to be comfortable through every step of the legal process.
- Documenting damages related to the SCI: Our legal team will contact your medical providers for records, consult our own experts, obtain relevant bills and financial records, and document your damages.
- Fighting for the compensation the client deserves: Our ultimate goal is to secure the compensation you are entitled to receive because of your injury. We are trial lawyers who are aggressive negotiators.
Our firm will not ask you for any upfront or out-of-pocket compensation. We use contingency fees, so your attorney will only receive a fee if they obtain fair compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to hire us even if you’re under financial pressure, and it also aligns our financial goals squarely with yours—if you win, we win.
