At Debbie Taussig Law, we are dedicated to advocating for individuals who have suffered life-altering injuries, such as spinal cord injuries (SCI). As we recognize Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month this September, we aim to raise awareness about prevention, provide support, and highlight the importance of legal representation for those impacted. Each year, over 17,000 new SCI cases are reported in the U.S., with the majority (39.3%) resulting from vehicle accidents. The effects on individuals and their families are significant and life-changing.
The Profound Impact of Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury can lead to permanent changes in mobility, sensation, and independence. Those affected face overwhelming challenges, including costly medical treatments, extensive rehabilitation, and loss of income. At Debbie Taussig Law, we understand how daunting the recovery journey can be, and we have witnessed firsthand the emotional and financial toll these injuries impose. That’s why we are committed to helping SCI victims seek the compensation they deserve through the legal system.
Why Legal Representation Is Critical
When a spinal cord injury occurs due to negligence, such as in a car accident, victims have the right to pursue compensation. This can include covering medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, and compensation for permanent impairment. Having the right legal representation can be crucial in ensuring that victims receive the financial support they need to rebuild their lives.
How We’re Raising Awareness During Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month
- Spread Awareness: Help educate others by sharing essential information about spinal cord injury prevention and safety.
- Advocate for Change: Support legislation and organizations advocating for enhanced safety standards and better resources for SCI victims.
