Do these four things now

The first few days decide a lot of cases. In order:

1
See a doctor and follow the planGet care now and keep every appointment. Gaps in treatment are what insurers look for.
2
Don't give a recorded statementYou don't have to. Adjusters are trained to get you to say things that lower your claim. Say: "My lawyer will call you."
3
Keep a recordMedical records, bills, and a simple log of pain and the things you can't do.
4
Don't sign anything. Call us.Early release forms and medical authorizations are written to limit what they owe you. A ten-minute call costs nothing and tells you where you stand.

How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Some claims, such as those against a government agency, have deadlines measured in months, not years. Call early, and we find the deadline that applies to you.

Serious injury questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

How much is my injury case worth?
It depends on the injury, the treatment you need, your lost income and how the injury changes your life, and on the insurance available. We look at all of it before any number is discussed.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still have a case. In most states your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, not wiped out. The insurer will try to put more blame on you than the facts support. That's our fight, not yours.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

More about autonomic dysreflexia

Read the full guide

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), also called hyperreflexia, can occur in persons who have suffered a spinal cord injury at or above the fifth thoracic vertebra (T6).

"Autonomic dysreflexia" means an over-activity of the Autonomic Nervous System. AD occurs when there is an irritation, pain, or other stimulus to the nervous system below the level of injury.

The irritated area sends a signal to the brain, but because of the injury to the spinal cord, the signal is not able to reach the brain. A reflex action takes place and causes the blood vessels to tighten. This, in turn, causes blood pressure to rise to dangerously high levels.

If high blood pressure is not controlled, it may cause a stroke, seizure, or even death.

COMMON SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF AUTONOMIC DYSREFLEXIA

  • High blood pressure
  • Seeing spots or blurred vision
  • Pounding headache
  • Nasal congestion
  • Flushed face
  • Red blotching on the neck and chest
  • Profuse sweating above the level of injury
  • Goose bumps
  • Cool, clammy skin
  • Nausea
  • Anxiety or a feeling of doom

AD is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Those who have received a spinal cord injury should be aware of the above symptoms and seek immediate medical attention.

If you or a loved one has suffered a stroke as the result of AD, and the injury was sustained an accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to compensation. Call TORKLAW today for a free consultation: (888) 845-9696
