Burn Injuries

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Burn injuries can be caused by fire, chemicals, electricity, radiation, friction and even extreme cold. Burns can damage or destroy from the outer layers of skin down to the nerve endings, blood vessels, muscle tissue and bones and can cause disfigurement, life-threatening electrolyte imbalances, infection, respiratory distress, scarring, shock and death.

A burn injury is one of the most painful injuries an individual can suffer and the excruciating debridement of wounds along with skin grafts and surgeries to repair the damaged tissue is extremely painful as well.

A burn injury severely affects your quality of life and requires long term care and treatment that is financially, emotionally and physically draining. Burn injuries caused by the negligence of another individual or entity can result in financial compensation to you for medical care and treatment, loss of income, loss of future earning potential and loss of quality of life.

If you live in the Anderson, Greenville, or Spartanburg areas of South Carolina, please contact the burn injury attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm today to discuss your options for obtaining financial compensation for your injury.

Spinal Cord Injury

Monday, March 15th, 2010

A spinal cord injury is often the result of a sudden blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates the vertebrae, causing bone fragments to bruise or tear spinal cord tissue. Spinal cord injuries often result in catastrophic damage resulting in total paralysis. The availability of emergency treatment and aggressive care and rehabilitation can minimize the damage to the spinal cord and in some cases even restore limited abilities.

Motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of spinal cord injuries with falls and sports injuries also contributing to the high incidence of this type of injury. A spinal cord injury causes great concern, fear and a feeling of hopelessness in all those touched by an injury of this magnitude. The financial costs alone for continuing care for victims of spinal cord injuries can total hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, but the emotional costs are immeasurable.

The Druanne White Law Firm will fight to ensure our clients get the best quality of life available to them.

Please contact the South Carolina spinal cord injury attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm in Anderson, South Carolina today if you have suffered a spinal cord injury.
