Spinal injuries are usually catastrophic. Victims are frequently unable to work, walk or perform the functions of daily life. Their life expectancy is often shortened. They usually need life-long and expensive treatment. When a spinal injury is the result of an accident caused by negligence or misconduct, victims may be able to obtain compensation for their lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering and medical expenses.
