Nerve Injuries

When an automobile accident, an incident of medical malpractice, or another traumatic event results in serious nerve injuries, the consequences may be catastrophic. Nerve injuries may lead to disability and even death in some extreme cases. If you or someone close to you has sustained nerve injuries in an accident that was not your fault, you should promptly reach out to a Baltimore nerve injury attorney who can assess the merits of your case. At the Arfaa Law Group, catastrophic injury lawyer Julia Arfaa is committed to advocating aggressively for the compensation that victims deserve for their harm.

Nerves carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Among other things, they relay messages about pain, pressure, temperature, and movement. Since nerves are an essential part of a human body’s functions, nerve injuries may seriously undermine a person’s quality of life. There are three types of nerves in the body:

• Motor nerves: these nerves control movements by passing information from the brain to the spinal cord to the muscles.
• Autonomic nerves: these nerves control the involuntary or partially voluntary activities of your body, including your heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.
• Sensory nerves: these nerves pass messages from your skin and muscles back to your spinal cord and brain and are responsible for pain and other sensations.

Nerves may be damaged in a variety of ways, including too much pressure, stretching, or through a cut. Liability for nerve injuries typically depends on the circumstances of the case. If your nerve damage was caused in an accident that would not have happened without careless behavior, you will likely be able to file a negligence lawsuit against the responsible party. A nerve injury lawyer can guide Baltimore residents through this process.

Negligence is a failure to exercise care that results in an injury or death to someone else. It is important to be aware that causation is a critical part of a negligence claim. In other words, the plaintiff must also show that the defendant’s negligence was a direct cause of their harm, such that they probably would not have been hurt if not for the careless conduct.

Treating nerve injuries may be extremely costly. Often, victims require long-term treatment. Compensation for this level of injury may help secure the financial future of a victim and their family. As a result, Maryland law allows victims of nerve injuries to seek damages such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, disability, lost income, and other related items. Of course, no amount of compensation can undo the harm that you have suffered, but the money may help pay for the bills that you may accumulate.
