Spinal Cord Injuries and Arachnoiditis
When a person sustains direct trauma to his or her spine, there exists the possibility of developing a very painful and difficult to manage condition known as arachnoiditis. Named because it affects the arachnoid, or the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, this disorder can leave an injured individual with severe pain and mobility problems. However, if the injury that caused this disorder was due to another person’s negligent or reckless conduct, the accident victim may be eligible to sue for compensation for his or her treatment and injury management costs.
A long-term injury such as spinal cord trauma and the onset of arachnoiditis may leave you with significant medical costs and a lack of income due to drastic injury-related lifestyle changes. However, there may be legal options available to help you fight for compensation from the party at fault. For more information about this legal process and how we can help, contact a Denver accident attorney from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today by calling (303) 423-1770.
