Am I Eligible to File a Case?

If your spinal cord injury was the result of an accident that could have been prevented if the at-fault party had used reasonable care, you may have case.

However, it is important to consult an experienced lawyer with detailed knowledge of these cases and the laws that apply. These are complex cases and there are many factors to consider, such as whether the four elements of negligence were present.

Duty of Care

The duty of care is a legal duty to act with care to help prevent injuries to others. In other words, you must prove the at-fault party had a duty to act the way a reasonable person would have in a similar situation. For example, a reasonable driver will follow the speed limit to avoid accidents.

Breach of Duty of Care

The at-fault party did not uphold the duty of care by acting in a careless, negligent or reckless way. Generally, this means another person in a similar situation would have acted in a more reasonable manner.

Causation

This refers to a direct, provable link between the injury suffered and the actions of the at-fault party. You would not have been injured if the duty of care was upheld. If you were injured in a car accident, you would need to prove the accident caused your spinal cord to be damaged and the accident would have been avoided if the at-fault driver had acted with more care.

Damages

Damages may include the physical, financial and emotional aspects of an injury. Financial damages are the monetary losses a victim suffers. Emotional losses could include pain and suffering. The damages that may be available depend on the specifics of the claim.

Your lawyer must prove that all four elements of negligence are present to have a valid case for compensation.

Common Causes for Spinal Cord Injuries

Most spinal cord injuries are caused by some sort of blunt trauma to the spinal cord. Trauma that results in a spinal cord injury often occurs in the following situations:

Injuries from the situation above are often referred to as acute injuries. These injuries could include fractures and dislocations, sprains and strains, or bulging/ruptured discs. These injuries could result in intense pain, limited mobility and even paralysis.

There are different types of paralysis that can occur. For example, some people with paralysis only deal with it in their legs. Tetraplegia causes paralysis below the site of the injury and affects all four limbs.

However, paralysis is not the only medical issue that results from the injury. Victims can be at greater risk for overheating because they do not sweat. Victims may also lose bowel and bladder control.

The other main type of spinal cord injuries are overuse injuries. These do not result from one incident when someone experienced blunt trauma to the spinal cord. They are the result of repetitive activities that cause spinal cord damage over time. For example, lifting heavy things on a regular basis can slowly damage the spinal cord, leading to muscle spasms and stiffness that severely limits mobility.
