What a Spinal Cord Injury Claim May Include

Paralysis and spinal cord injury cases are among the most complex personal injury law matters because they require proving both liability and the long-term prognosis. Common recoverable damages include:

  • Medical expenses (past and future), including rehabilitation and assistive devices
  • Home modification and vehicle adaptation costs
  • Long-term nursing and attendant care
  • Lost earnings and lost future earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Emotional distress and family impact

O’Cathain Law Group Personal Injury Law Departments can work with vocational experts, life-care planners, and rehabilitation specialists to quantify future needs, so settlement offers or jury verdicts fully account for lifelong costs. We often use life-care planners, medical experts, and economists to itemize and project future medical, rehabilitation, and attendant care costs so projected needs are included in any demand or verdict.

New Jersey law sets strict deadlines to file personal injury lawsuits. In most personal injury law claims, the statute of limitations is two (2) years from the date of the injury in nearly every case.

Because these deadlines can be decisive, contact the head of the OLG Personal Injury Law Department, Donny O’Cathain, Esq. ASAP— he has the experience and compassion to handle your case, and the proven results you need (please check out our Verdicts & Settlements webpage).
