IFN Can Help You Get Funds For Your Surgically-Treated Injuries

August 2, 2016, on Articles | Share

Depending on the severity of an accident, injuries sustained can range from less serious cuts and abrasions to injuries that require extensive surgery. Injured victims often consider a number of possibilities when it comes to ensuring that they and their families will be taken care of -- particularly in the event the injured individual is unable to work for an extended period of time.

Surgically-Treated Injuries and the Incidents That Cause Them

The types of incidents that may lead to injuries that require surgery can be in the hundreds, if not thousands. For instance, if someone is involved in a motor vehicle accident, the injuries stemming from that crash could require a person to have spinal surgery, eye surgery or bone fusions, depending on the nature of the injury.

Similarly, a person who has been burned by fire or some sort of chemical can also require surgery, including plastic surgery (in cases involving disfigurement and major scarring) and/or skin grafts.

While we are unable to provide funds for injuries that are solely treated by chiropractors, pain management clinics or other types of therapy, IFN can help by providing Florida legal funding for you and your family to use however you see fit while your attorney works to get your case resolved.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind as You Prepare for Surgery

The following information is provided to assist accident victims with their research and is not meant to take the place of sound advice that should be obtained from a medical professional.

WebMD notes that knowing as much as possible about what to expect ahead of the surgery will help to calm a patient’s nerves.

For example, individuals may want to inquire about who will be a part of their surgical team. Surgical teams will vary based on the type of procedure being performed. However, most surgeries will include:

• An anesthesiologist (the person who provides the medicine so you won’t experience pain during the surgery)
• A certified registered nurse anesthetist (the person who ensures you get the correct amount of pain medication before, during and after the surgery)
• A surgical tech who lays out the tools for the surgeon to use
• An operating room nurse who assists the surgeon throughout the surgery
• The surgeon

When you get to the hospital, you will likely be assisted by a registered nurse who will work with you to get you prepped for surgery. Since most patients are asked to arrive at least two hours ahead of time, you will have time to speak with those who will be handling your surgery and ask any questions or discuss any concerns you may have.
