You may wonder, What is the average settlement for spinal fusion surgery in California?
While there is not necessarily an average spinal fusion lawsuit settlement, the lawyers at Peerali Law can examine the facts of your case and explain how much compensation you might be eligible to receive.
What Is Spinal Fusion?
A spinal fusion operation joins vertebrae in your spine so they can no longer move. This kind of procedure can minimize pain, help improve your stability, or alleviate a deformity.
Spinal fusion carries some risks, including pain at the site and infection. Nonetheless, it can help reduce symptoms of back conditions such as degenerative disk disease and scoliosis or alleviate issues caused by an injury.
Types of Spinal Fusion Operations
There are multiple types of spinal fusion operations you might have to undergo as a result of a car collision. Some kinds of spinal fusion procedures are:
- Anterior lumbar interbody fusion,
- Posterior lumbar interbody fusion,
- Direct lateral interbody fusion, and
- Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
The type of spinal fusion procedure you need is one factor that can affect the size of a settlement.
What Is the Average Spinal Fusion Lawsuit Settlement?
The amount plaintiffs recover in a spinal fusion lawsuit settlement can vary widely based on the circumstances of their accident and injury.
The severity of your injuries, the cost and length of your medical treatment, and the impact your injury has on your daily life will all influence the value of your claim.
For example, you may have economic damages like lost wages or medical expenses. You might also have noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering or loss of consortium.
What Factors Might Affect My Spinal Fusion Settlement Amount?
While there is no average settlement amount for having to undergo spinal fusion surgery after a car accident, there are some common factors that will influence the size of a settlement. These factors include:
- The cost of your medical expenses,
- The extent of your injuries,
- The level of property damage,
- The amount of your lost income,
- The assets of the at-fault driver,
- The at-fault driver’s insurance policy limits, and
- The effects of your injuries on your life.
These are only some of the factors that can affect the amount of compensation you might recover.
