Spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury is different from a general description such as back pain. MedlinePlus explains that the spinal cord carries signals between the brain and body, and injury can disrupt those signals. Medical diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation decisions belong with healthcare professionals. A legal inquiry can summarize the incident, documented care needs and changes to work or daily life without sending sensitive medical files through this form.
- Incident date, location and available report information
- A summary of diagnosis and care from treating professionals
- Documented equipment, assistance, work changes and expenses
Location to identify: The place of the collision, fall or other event; the report number and issuing organization; and where any lawsuit was filed.
Ask a lawyer: What functional and care information is needed to evaluate the practical impact of the injury?
