After a Spinal Cord Injury

After a Spinal Cord Injury - Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Indianapolis

Life after a spinal cord injury will never be the same for the victim and his or her family. At Wilson, Kehoe & Winingham LLC, we have a full understanding of the life changes that must be made. We are dedicated to helping spinal cord injury clients deal with the aftermath by structuring a life care plan, and helping them get to the medical professionals that are needed to deal with the present and future issues the spinal cord injury can cause.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is frequently ordered for victims of spinal cord injuries in order to allow them to be as functional as possible. Once this state has been achieved, it is important that it is maintained. By maintaining a good physical condition, it is possible to slow down the rate of deterioration of the body. Family members can be very supportive and assist in the rehabilitation efforts.

Accommodations

Many accommodations will have to be made in the life of a spinal cord injury victim. His or her house will need to be outfitted to accommodate the new limitations that the spinal cord injury has place on his or her life. Also, reasonable accommodations must be made by the employer of the injured individual, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Psychological Impact

Not only does a spinal cord injury take a physical toll, but an emotional and mental toll on the victim and their family members as well. We are understanding of these types of issues in spinal cord injury victims and pride ourselves on our ability to direct clients to the proper professionals if they require additional assistance in dealing with their situations.
