Dealing with Spinal Cord Injuries: The First 90 Days
DEALING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, it is estimated that more than 17,000 people each year suffer from spinal cord injuries. Recent data from the NSCISC indicates there are nearly 300,000 people in the United States who are currently living with a spinal cord injury (SCI).
Burg Simpson shareholder Peter W. Burg has been a champion for SCI patients for many years. He is one of the country’s foremost trial lawyers as well as a leading authority on handling claims for people with traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injuries. Burg says: “Compensation for an injury of this nature is about re-payment for your losses, payment for what has been taken away from you, and being provided economic resources to assist you with your medical and life care needs created due to the wrongdoing of someone else.”
If you have been in an accident that’s left you with a serious spinal cord injury, it is possible that in addition to your medical care, you may also require the assistance of a personal injury lawyer.

WHEN, HOW, AND WHY TO SELECT AN ATTORNEY
Peter Burg’s contribution to the book answers some of the legal related questions a patient might have, particularly where they have sustained their injury in an accident caused by another party. Many victims of these injuries often overlook that they could be eligible for compensation for the injuries they have suffered due to the acts or omissions by another party.
