Adequate Compensation Is a Must
Spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia will affect the lives of the injury victims and their families. People who suffer serious spinal cord injuries need long-term treatment from specialists as well as daily care from family members or nurses. Some may be unable to take care of themselves. Many will not be able to return to work.
The family must receive compensation for lost income and medical bills as well as costs for modifications to their homes and vehicles. At Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates, P.C., we help injured workers and their families with workers' compensation claims.

Consequences of Spinal Injuries
Injuries to the spinal cord may include back and neck injuries, disk injuries and nerve damage. The spinal nerves can tear or be pinched, causing extreme pain in the back, neck, arms and legs, as well as numbness or tingling in the extremities. This pain and numbness may cause temporary or permanent disability.
The most severe spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia. Individuals with these conditions may also suffer numerous complications and secondary conditions involving other body systems and organs such as:
- Bladder or bowel dysfunction
- Breathing difficulties
- Pressure sores and infections
- Sexual dysfunction
Severe spinal injuries will permanently alter the lives of the injury victim and his or her family. Every day is a challenge when a person cannot care for him or herself. The family dynamic and routine will change drastically to incorporate caring for the injured family member. Our attorneys understand that you will all need assistance to move forward and adjust to a new way of life. We fight hard to obtain the compensation and benefits that will allow you to do so.
