Imagine yourself in terrible pain across your body, although outwardly you arguably look fine. Imagine yourself being so tired as to not be able to function. Imagine all these things and then imagine people telling you there is nothing wrong with you, that it is all in your head – and not just any people, imagine medical professionals telling you this.

It was simply not that long ago that a person suffering from Fibromyalgia would, in all likelihood, not be taken seriously. Thankfully, it is now accepted, although there remains certain naysayers even today.

Fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating, changing a person’s life dramatically. Fibromyalgia can rob a person of the life they’ve come to know, making simple day to day coping difficult.

Fibromyalgia finds its roots in soft tissue injuries that are widespread across the body. Soft tissue injuries, as a general category of injury, can be very painful and require long recovery times. Fibromyalgia is something more, as recovery does not seem to occur regardless of the passage of time or the efforts made by the injury victim.

As with any injury, medical treatment must be obtained in a timely manner. Of equal importance is the need to follow up on the medical treatment so that:

1. You are treated properly.
2. There is a proper record.

Additionally a law firm should be retained as soon as possible to deal with the insurance company and ensure the case progresses properly. A law firm should be retained because the issues involved are very complicated and there are simply so many issues to deal with.

The sound of a baby crying, the sound of a babbling brook – these are sounds of beauty that many of us take for granted. The sound of a car horn, the sound of a train whistle, these are sounds of safety that many of us also take for granted. For an injury victim to suffer a permanent hearing loss would change his or her life dramatically in an instant. The wide range of sounds that help direct our lives are suddenly gone. The victim will need to learn to live in silence and not only must the physical components be dealt with, so also must the emotional components. As with any injury area there is a range of loss ending in total hearing loss.

Damage to the spinal cord, of any kind, can be traumatic. However, when the damage occurs in the upper reaches of the spinal cord, it can be catastrophic, with a complete loss of lower functioning. The loss of the ability to use one’s arms and legs is something that most people can’t even imagine. The emotional and physical challenges involved seem insurmountable.

Obviously in situations where the injuries suffered are of this level, special considerations apply. The injury victims are going to require special care, equipment and living space, and these are going to be issues for the rest of their lives.
