Atlanta, Georgia Workers' Compensation Attorneys – Spinal Cord Injuries
As Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorneys, we know that when involved in a workplace accident or injured at work, getting a diagnosis of a severe spinal cord injury can be devastating. Spinal cord injuries can often mean complete and total paralysis or partial paralysis, and there is no known cure for spinal cord injuries that will get you back on your feet. This means that when a spinal cord injury happens as a result of a work-related accident, the injury can change your whole life.
Because spinal cord injuries have such serious consequences, it is imperative you speak with an Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer as soon as your doctor indicates that you may have suffered a severe spinal cord injury. Workers’ compensation benefits should be available to provide the medical care you need, as well as to provide income to help support you and your family if your disability prevents you from working.
An experienced Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorney will help to make sure you get the full extent of the benefits available under Georgia workers’ compensation laws.
Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Workplace Accidents
Spinal cord injuries can happen in any type of workplace accident. However, there are certain common incidents that occur in the workplace and that are likely to cause damage to the spine. According to the Liberty Mutual 2011 Workplace Safety Index, the following were among the top 10 causes of disabling work injuries in 2009:
- Falls on the same level or falls to a lower level
- Involvement in an accident on the highway
- Injuries resulting from being compressed in or caught by something
- Workplace assault or violence
These top causes of workplace injuries are all likely to result in damage to the spine. For example, even a fall from a relatively low height can cause a severe spinal injury depending on the angle at which you hit the ground. When these or other injuries happen either on the job site or when you are performing some type of required work duty off-site, workers’ compensation benefits can kick in. This is true even if you were careless and even if your employer wasn’t negligent, since workers’ compensation makes employers liable for every work-related injury regardless of who was at fault.
