Daggett Shuler Personal Injury Lawyers and Attorneys Winston-Salem North Carolina Greensboro North Carolina Serious Injury September Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month

Thousands of Americans suffer from a spinal cord injury each year. These injuries are devastating and can result in life long care causing significant physical challenges and emotional stress.

Living with a spinal cord injury is extremely costly and can result in life long medical bills, loss of income, lengthy hospital stays, rehabilitation services and more.

Below are recent statistics on spinal cord injuries:

There are roughly 17,000 spinal cord injuries a year.
About 282,000 people are currently living with a SCI.
The average age of injury is 42 years.
80% of all spinal cord injuries happen to men.

A spinal cord injury can be sudden. It can happen at any given time from playing your favorite sport, a motor vehicle accident, serious fall, or any high-risk activity.

It is important to know the symptoms and seek immediate medical attention after any accident. The most common symptoms include:

Pain, numbness or a burning sensation
Inability to move or walk
Inability to feel pressure, heat or cold
Muscle spasms
Loss of bladder or bowel control
Difficulty breathing

Every injury is different, and not all spinal cord injuries present symptoms immediately. Depending on the severity and location of an injury, symptoms may be delayed due to swelling and bleeding around the spinal cord.

As we enter into Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month, it’s important to know the facts. Please be aware of the symptoms and show your support by wearing green in the month of September.

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Olivia Winston

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.
