Our Troy Lawyers Understand the Expenses and Losses Associated with SCI Injuries
Our Troy spinal cord injury attorneys represent clients with serious, life-altering injuries every day. We have seen the long-term effects of these injuries and how they change the way victims live, work, and get around. While some people make a full or almost-full recovery, many live with lasting disabilities, and some require around-the-clock care. The costs of living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) can be astronomical.
We document each client’s expenses to date and work to estimate their future care costs with help from experts. This allows us to seek compensation that includes:
Medical Care Costs
Spinal cord injuries can be incredibly expensive injuries to treat. We pursue compensation for our client’s current and future care and support costs, including necessary medical equipment, mobility equipment, and therapies.
Lost Income
Many of our clients miss a lot of time at work or cannot return to work because of their lasting disabilities. We seek money for missed pay and diminished earning capacity as necessary.
Other Costs
Spinal cord injury victims often travel for inpatient therapies or to see specialists if they cannot get the treatment they require at Corewell Health Beaumont Hospital – Troy or Detroit Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM) at Troy Community Center. They may also need to modify their homes for wheelchair access or spend other money out-of-pocket due to their accident and injuries.
Intangible Pain and Suffering Damages
Those who suffer serious spinal cord injuries also have significant intangible losses. This includes physical and emotional pain and suffering, scarring and disability, and reduced enjoyment of life.

How Long Can I Wait to Talk to a Troy, MI, Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer?
Serious, life-altering accident injuries often require a significant hospital stay and inpatient rehabilitation. Patients may be unable to make the phone call to our team or be on medications that prevent them from thinking clearly. Still, the sooner we can begin working on a case, the better. For this reason, we sometimes have close family members contact us about their loved one’s injury accident.
When an injured victim or their family hires us early, we can preserve key evidence and protect our client’s rights. We take over the calls from the insurance company and manage all communication about the case. Our client can focus solely on their treatment and recovery.
We like to investigate an incident or accident as soon as possible after it occurs, but we generally have more time to build a case and file a lawsuit when necessary. Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805, most injured parties have up to three years to sue. However, there are exceptions, and some people have less time to act. We will ensure you meet the applicable deadlines if we know about your case in time.
