The Lifelong Impact of Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of bodily functions. Victims often need surgery, lengthy rehabilitation, assistive equipment, home modifications, and ongoing personal care. The financial and emotional toll is immense, and the at-fault party should be held responsible for all of it.
Building a Catastrophic Injury Claim
Spinal cord cases require a team approach — medical specialists, life-care planners, vocational experts, and economists who can quantify a lifetime of care and lost earnings. Insurers know these claims are expensive and often fight hard to minimize them. Thorough documentation and aggressive advocacy are essential.
Compensation Available
You may recover past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and assistive technology, home and vehicle modifications, attendant care, lost income and earning capacity, and non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and loss of independence. Oklahoma no longer caps non-economic damages, so the full human cost can be pursued.
Act Before the Deadline
Oklahoma's two-year statute of limitations under Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95 generally applies. Government-entity claims require notice within one year. Early action preserves evidence and gives experts time to build a complete picture of future needs.
