C1, C2 and C3 Injury Compensation

C1, C3 or C3 Broken Neck Accident Pritzker Olsen attorneys represent spinal cord injury victims throughout the United States, including quadriplegics with C1, C2 and/or C3 broken neck injuries.

People with C1, C2 and/or C3 broken vertebrae and other injury have the following functionality issues that will affect amount of money recoverable in a lawsuit and settlement:

Quadriplegia – complete paralysis of arms, body and legs
Limited head and neck movement—may have none
Autonomic dysreflexia possible
May be able to control electric wheelchair with chin or mouth
Unable to move without a hoist or other assistance
Unable to use any type of utensils to eat—totally dependent on someone else to put the food in mouth
Loss of bladder and bowel control
May have problems chewing and swallowing
Dependent on ventilator to breathe and may need oxygen and humidification
May need mouth stick and computer to communicate
Need assistance in coughing and to have saliva cleared
Need 24-hour-a-day care

A quadriplegic whose C1, C2 or C3 broken neck was caused by someone's negligence may have claims against that person and others (for example, a semi truck driver and the trucking company) for money damages. This is important because the costs of medical expenses (including medical equipment) and cost of care are staggeringly high and will continue for the person's lifetime.

When our law firm is hired to represent a spinal cord injury victim, we use video and other media to make a presentation outlining how the person's life has changed. Before and after presentations provide evidence of the extent of the loss of quality of life. Day-in-the-life videos provide evidence of the loss of quality of life, the emotional distress suffered by the victim and the extent of the disability. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Our law firm has the resources to hire accident reconstruction experts, medical experts and other expert witnesses. This is an important part of winning a spinal injury case and getting the best compensation package possible for the spinal cord injury victim.
