Why Hire a Valparaiso Paralysis Lawyer After an Injury?

Paralysis is a serious injury, so it’s imperative that you recover the maximum amount of financial compensation. After all, your injury may require you to undergo multiple surgeries, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sessions with a psychologist, just to name a few.

You’ll also need to manage more prescription medications. Your house may need accessibility renovations such as grab bars or lifts, and you will need to buy a wheelchair. You’ll need financial compensation moving forward as you go through treatment and adjust to your new quality of life. 

Working with an attorney following a catastrophic injury will heighten your chances of recovering the amount of money you’re truly owed. We will fight for your best interests and do our best to protect you from aggressive insurance companies who want to undervalue your claim.

Common Symptoms You May Experience After Paralysis

Alongside paralysis, you might also experience these symptoms:

  • Changed sensation
  • Loss of bladder control
  • Pressure 
  • Balance difficulty
  • Walking difficulty
  • Spasms
  • No sensation
  • Emotional trauma
  • Reflex issues
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Weight gain
  • Breathing difficulty

Any of these symptoms can deeply affect you. You may not be able to work, and even lose a career you fought for. You may not be able to stay in a lifelong relationship. These are all things that we will consider as we build your Valparaiso case. We may be able to calculate non-economic damages like loss of companionship, loss of reputation, or mental anguish into your total amount. 

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

You only have a minimal amount of time from the date of your paralysis injury to file a claim, according to the Indiana statute of limitations. This time can pass far more quickly than you realize, especially while you juggle treatment, pain management, and even learning how to walk and talk again. 

So as soon as you’re able, call Lerner and Rowe. If your loved one is the injured party and unable to call, consider reaching out on behalf of them. We may still be able to legally represent them.
