Paralysis is one of the most traumatic workers’ compensation injuries we see. Paralysis impacts every aspect of a person’s life, as well as the lives of their loved ones.

When we represent clients with work-related spinal cord injuries, we know their journey toward a new normal is a long one. Compensation needs to be more than adequate to cover medical care, mental health support, and adaptation of their living environment, in addition to their loss of income.

Therefore, it’s important that we stay in the know on advancements in paralysis treatment. This exciting new possibility of a cell regenerating treatment gives hope to those that believe they may never walk or have use of a limb again.

While this treatment is not approved yet, it provides hope for the more than 300,000 individuals living with spinal cord injuries. In the meantime, we will continue to work with our partners, such as the Shepherd Center in Atlanta and pain management centers, to ensure that the best treatment available is provided to our clients suffering from paralysis.

If you or a loved one has suffered an on-the-job injury that caused paralysis, please get the help you need. Make sure you receive prompt medical care and contact us for a no-obligation consultation to determine how we can help with your case.
