Spinal Cord Injury

Here in Fort Worth, with heavy traffic on highways like I-820, I-30, and US-287, truck accidents are far too common. And when an 18-wheeler is involved, the consequences are often devastating.

After a spinal cord injury, it’s not just about hospital bills. You’re looking at long-term rehabilitation, the possibility of never returning to your job, and major lifestyle changes. Insurance companies will try to downplay your injury and push for a quick, low settlement. But that’s where we come in. You need a seasoned Fort Worth spinal cord injury lawyer to protect your rights and fight for the full compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Seeking Compensation for Lifestyle Modifications

When filing a claim for a spinal cord injury, it’s important to consider not only your immediate medical expenses but also the long-term costs associated with your new way of life. These lifestyle modifications are often essential for your well-being, and the law allows you to seek compensation to cover these necessary adjustments. Here are some key areas where you can pursue compensation:

Home Modifications: You may be entitled to compensation for any renovations or modifications needed to make your home accessible. This includes the cost of construction, materials, and installation of mobility aids like ramps and lifts.

Adaptive Vehicles: Compensation can also cover the cost of modifying your current vehicle or purchasing an adaptive vehicle to accommodate your new needs. This ensures you maintain your ability to travel independently.

Mobility and Medical Equipment: You can seek compensation for the cost of necessary mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers, as well as other specialized medical equipment required for daily living.

In-Home Care and Long-Term Assistance: If your injury requires ongoing care, either from a nurse or other healthcare professionals, this can be factored into your claim. Compensation may cover both short-term rehabilitation needs and long-term in-home care.

Building a Strong Case for Lifestyle Modification Compensation

Proving the need for these modifications and obtaining the full compensation you deserve often requires thorough documentation and expert testimony. Medical experts, occupational therapists, and home modification specialists can provide valuable evidence about the extent of your injuries and the necessary changes to your living environment. Additionally, financial experts can estimate the lifetime costs of these modifications to ensure you’re not left paying out of pocket for future needs.
