South Jersey Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Compassionate Representation in Millville, Bridgeton, & All Parts of Cumberland County

Spinal cord injuries are counted among the most serious and devastating of all personal injuries. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) reports that about 12,000 Americans suffer a spinal cord injury every year, with most of these injuries caused by auto accidents.

Spinal cord injuries are especially devastating when they affect someone in the prime of life. What few people realize is that spinal cord injuries are actually more common in young adults. Although spinal cord injuries can happen at any age, data gathered by the NSCISC shows that most spinal cord injuries happen to people between the ages of 16 and 30. As the population has aged, the median age for spinal cord injuries has also risen and now stands at 42.6 years old.

At Rosner Law Offices, P.C., we help people who have suffered serious personal injuries. Our Vineland spinal cord injury lawyers know how a catastrophic injury affects both the accident victim and his or her family members. These injuries come at a high personal and financial cost. If you have been injured in a car accident or any other type of accident, don’t pay the price of someone else’s negligence. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in a car crash, slip and fall, work-related incident, or any other type of accident, we can help you get justice and compensation for your injuries.

The High Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries

Although medical research has come a long way in the past few decades, spinal cord injuries remain an area in which many patients are given a bleak prognosis. Because the spinal column is such an integral part of every bodily function, individuals who sustain these types of injuries often experience a drastically reduced quality of life. 

Depending on which part of the spine is injured, accident victims can suffer:

• Breathing problems
• Bladder and bowel incontinence
• Nerve damage
• Loss of motor function
• Muscle weakness
• Sexual dysfunction
• Complete or partial paralysis

The costs associated with spinal cord injuries can easily exceed millions of dollars over a lifetime. When individuals are injured during their working years, they can miss out on decades of income and retirement benefits. Even partial paralysis of a limb can stop a person from working. In the most serious cases, a spinal cord injury victim is permanently confined to a wheelchair or forced to use a ventilator to breathe. The costs associated with these cases can be astronomical.

Money can’t make these problems go away, but it can help ease the burdens of coping with such a devastating injury. Many health insurance policies exclude experimental and alternative treatments that show promise for spinal cord injuries. Moreover, many spinal cord injury victims quickly exhaust their medical benefits after just a few short years following their accident.

When you have been injured by another person’s carelessness, getting hit with stacks of medical bills can feel like a slap in the face. You shouldn’t have to adjust your lifestyle or stop doing things you love just to make ends meet. Our Vineland spinal cord injury lawyers work hard to hold negligent people accountable for their actions. We also work hard to make sure spinal cord injury victims never have to compromise their financial security due to their injury.
