Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal Cord Personal Injury and Worker's Comp Claims
The Delius Law Firm in Atlanta serves a statewide clientele in personal injury and workers' compensation litigation to recover damages for spinal cord injuries. If you or someone in your family has suffered extensive neurological damage in a motor vehicle collision or workplace accident anywhere in Georgia, contact personal injury attorney Scott Delius for a free consultation about your legal alternatives for compensation.
Our goal is to maximize your overall financial recovery in any spinal cord injury case, especially those resulting in permanent paralysis or quadriplegia. We work closely with you, your treating physicians, and life care planning experts to make sure that your future treatment and assisted living needs are identified in detail and presented for payment.
In a workers' compensation claim, there may be questions as to the catastrophic nature of your injuries, although it appears that you should qualify for lifelong medical treatment and a weekly check based on your prior earnings. These benefits are valuable and may cover such needs as in-home assistance, adaptive technology, or home modifications. As an experienced personal injury lawyer, Scott Delius can also examine the possibility that a defendant other than your employer can be held accountable for your injuries. We can present a claim for personal injury damages at the same time that your workers' compensation claim is presented, and seek to recover damages that the workers' comp system will not cover.
For clients whose spinal cord injury was suffered in a truck accident, motorcycle crash, or other traffic accident, the full range of your damages can theoretically be recovered in a personal injury lawsuit, but your ability to collect money will be limited by the amount of insurance the driver at fault has to cover your claims, together with your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We will investigate your case carefully to make sure that all parties who might be responsible for your injuries are identified and held to account, because in many cases, your damages will exceed the insurance coverage limits of the other driver and your own coverage.
