An Experienced Neck and Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Serving People Throughout Delaware County and the Surrounding Areas
Neck and spinal cord injuries can have very serious long-term effects on victims. These injuries can cause temporary or permanent nerve and muscle damage that impacts proper function of various bodily systems. In their worst form, neck and spinal cord injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis in the victim.
When these types of injuries happen on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits including lost wages and medical care. An experienced attorney can help to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and see to it that things like long-term care are considered in the settlement.
Attorney Edward R. Dougherty has been helping people throughout the Philadelphia metro with all types of workers' compensation claims, including neck and spinal cord injuries, for more than 25 years. From his offices in Havertown, Pennsylvania, he works diligently on his clients' behalf to reach a favorable outcome in every case.
Helping You Make an Informed Decision
In some workers' compensation cases, a lump sum settlement may be offered. A lump sum settlement means that you negotiate a single dollar amount to cover your injuries and receive all the money in one payment. These types of settlements can be a good option in some cases, but they may be less beneficial in others.
In cases like neck and spinal cord injuries, Mr. Dougherty will closely evaluate your case from every angle to determine if a lump sum settlement would be in your best interests. He will look at the extent of your injuries, recovery time, probable need for long-term care and other factors before making a recommendation.
Depending on how you were injured, Mr. Dougherty will also investigate the possibility of a third party liability claim. If you were injured in a slip and fall on someone else's property or in an auto accident that you did not cause, there may be cause for a separate personal injury case.
