You have rights as the victim of a spinal cord injury

As a spinal cord injury victim in Atlanta, you have the following rights:

Right to seek compensation: Recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage if someone else’s negligence caused your injury.

Right to file a personal injury claim: Georgia’s fault-based system allows you to pursue financial recovery from the at-fault party.

Right to fair treatment from insurance: Insurers must handle your claim in good faith; you’re not obligated to accept low offers.

Right to legal representation: An attorney can gather evidence, prove liability, negotiate, and represent you in court.

Right to pursue multiple liable parties: You can seek compensation from all responsible parties, including individuals, companies, or government entities.

Right to medical care and support: Your claim can cover ongoing care, therapy, and adaptive equipment.

Right to privacy: Your personal and medical information will be handled confidentially.

Right to punitive damages: If your injury resulted from extreme recklessness, you may seek punitive damages to punish the at-fault party.

Karell Trial Attorneys procides powerful representation in and out of court

Navigating a spinal cord injury case can be daunting, but Karell Trial Attorneys offers comprehensive support to relieve your burden. Here’s how we help:

• Personalized advice and communication: We handle all communication with defendants and insurance companies, allowing you to focus on recovery. We advise based on your unique needs, ensuring a fair settlement rather than rushing for a quick resolution.
• Managing legal paperwork: We draft, file, and respond to all necessary legal documents, from initial lawsuits to subpoenas, so you don’t have to manage complex paperwork.
• Investigation and case-building: We build a strong case by gathering evidence to prove negligence, including witness statements and maintenance records. This process ensures the liable party is held accountable and that you receive the compensation needed to rebuild your life.
• Negotiations and settlement: We value your claim, incorporating material losses and pain and suffering, and negotiate on your behalf to maximize your settlement.
• Trial representation: If a fair settlement isn’t reached, we prepare for trial, seeking punitive damages if the defendant’s conduct was especially harmful. These damages serve both as a penalty and a deterrent for similar future behavior.

Our team is committed to securing the best outcome for you, both in negotiations and, if necessary, in court.

We understand and sympathize with the devastating impact of a spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injuries can have a devastating impact on the victim’s life. Key aspects of spinal cord injuries include:

• Paralysis, either paraplegia (affecting the legs) or quadriplegia (affecting all four limbs), causes compromised mobility below the injury site.
• Sensory loss, such as an absence of sensation, phantom pain, or compromised sense of temperature below the injury site.
• Loss of voluntary bowel and bladder control, which may require bowel management routines and a catheter.
• Respiratory complications for injuries below the neck or thoracic spine. The breathing muscles and diaphragm may have compromised function.

The psychological impact of a spinal cord injury and the resulting loss of independence may be the most devastating. Many vibrant and active individuals may see their world shrink to a bed or room in a skilled nursing facility. The sudden, severe disability often leads to feelings of grief and loss, as well as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Your settlement can help you get psychological care to help you rebuild and find purpose in a changed reality.

The financial impact of a spinal cord injury cannot be overstated. Many people cannot work again or see a significant loss in their earning potential. If you require ongoing caregiver services, these expenses can quickly add up, and your insurance plan may not cover all the care you need.

Your settlement or jury award can help ease the financial burden you and your family are under, ensuring you get the quality medical care and personal comfort you need.
