Victims of a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) often have to overcome the fear and confusion that accompanies their injuries. An accident that results in a spinal injury is life-altering and victims often wonder how the injury will affect everyday activities such as being able to work, walking a dog, accessing a favorite restaurant, or meeting a friend in a park. If you or a family member is a victim of a spinal cord injury it is important to know that recovery takes time and it is essential that you take control of your life. It is important to grieve, but you should also proactively educate yourself about options that can help you reclaim your life. Where your spinal injury is the result of another person's wrongful conduct or is workplace related, you need the assistance of an experienced lawyer. Pick up the phone and call Robert A. Brenner. He can provide the legal support you need. Attorney Robert A. Brenner has devoted 30 plus years to representing victims of catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries. More than 10,000 Americans fall victim to spinal injuries each and every year and it is estimated that there are between 222,000 to 285,000 Americans presently living with a spinal injury. Each year, on average 32 spinal cord injuries occur for every hour that ticks by in the day. Common causes of spinal cord injuries include slip and fall accidents, automobile collisions, sports and recreation injuries, and acts of violence. The consequences of such injuries can be long-term, even permanent, changes in life-style and health. The victims of a spinal cord injury and their families are often burdened with footing the expensive costs for specialized healthcare and overcoming the loss of the future earnings of the victim. To reduce the risk of becoming a victim of a spinal cord injury it is recommended that you drive defensively, be careful with firearms, take steps to prevent falls, and always wear the recommended safety gear when playing sports. We hope that in the future, the progress of medical science will provide more effective ways to treat spinal injuries. Developments in genetic science provide victims of this type of injury with something to which they can look forward. For example, there are drugs in the experimental phase of development that may be able to help the victims of spinal cord accidents regain function in axons that are damaged. Axons are slender nerves that transmit electric impulses to the spinal cord. While the future may beckon with hope, in the present, if you are a victim of an accident or wrongful conduct that caused you to receive a spinal cord injury, you need to consult with an attorney as quickly as possible because there are statute of limitations that apply. Statute of limitations place restrictions on the time in which you can take legal action, so it is important for you to act quickly. Contact us at the law offices of Robert A. Brenner.
