Spinal cord injuries often lead to long-term financial burdens and medical needs. The total cost of treatment will depend on factors such as the severity of the injury and your age at the time of the accident. Other financial losses may include lost wages, reduced earning potential, and expenses for specialized medical equipment. Moreover, many people with spinal cord injuries require expensive home modifications to accommodate their new mobility needs.
If you have suffered a debilitating injury due to someone else’s carelessness, an Annapolis spinal cord injury lawyer can help you recover compensation. Contact our dedicated catastrophic injury attorneys at Burnett Injury Group today for help navigating the legal process.
Spinal damage can occur due to a variety of accidents, including:
During an initial consultation, an Annapolis-based attorney from our firm can evaluate your situation to determine who may be liable for your spinal cord injury.
When building a case and determining just compensation amounts, our lawyers consider factors such as your occupation and any opportunities for promotion you may have had before the accident. Your Annapolis attorney can also collect and organize all records relevant to your spinal cord injury, including medical files and testimony from your employer or former employer.
In addition to economic losses, you may also be able to seek compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. While these losses are harder to value, our team will identify the ways your injury has impacted your life, including your inability to participate in the activities you once enjoyed, loss of mobility, and loss of independence, to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Under Maryland Rule 5-702, expert witness testimony is admissible if it is relevant to a case and can provide sufficient factual evidence.

Their expert testimony can help explain why you may need treatments such as physical and occupational therapy, medications, and medical devices. By working with qualified medical professionals, your lawyer can more accurately show how your injury has affected your day-to-day life and the costs you have incurred as a result.
