Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car crashes, motorcycle wrecks, and truck collisions are among the leading causes of spinal cord injuries. Sudden impacts can force the spine to twist or compress unnaturally, damaging the spinal cord. Whether it’s a rear-end collision or a rollover crash, these events often produce violent forces that the body isn’t equipped to handle. Our attorneys frequently assist individuals who have been injured in both high-speed and low-speed collisions.
Falls From Heights And Slip And Falls
Falls remain a major contributor to spinal injuries, particularly among older adults and workers in construction or warehouse settings. A fall from a ladder, scaffolding, or even a flight of stairs can cause serious trauma to the spine. In everyday situations, a slip and fall on a wet floor or uneven surface can also lead to significant back and neck injuries. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises, and when they fail to do so, you may be able to hold them accountable and recover compensation.
Acts Of Violence
Gunshot wounds, physical assaults, and other violent encounters can lead to severe spinal cord damage. Unfortunately, these injuries are often permanent and may involve partial or full paralysis.
Sports And Recreational Activities
Contact sports like football, diving into shallow water, or even high-speed biking accidents can result in sudden and devastating spinal trauma. While athletes accept some risk in their sports, injuries caused by negligent supervision, unsafe facilities, or defective equipment may open the door for a legal claim. We work with clients to evaluate the cause and liability in these types of incidents. Proving liability in these cases can be difficult, which is why it is important to have our experienced attorney on your side.
Medical Incidents
Some spinal cord injuries occur during medical procedures or because of medical negligence, such as errors during surgery or the improper administration of spinal anesthesia. These cases often require a close review of medical records and specialist evaluation to determine if legal action is appropriate.
If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal injury due to someone else’s actions or negligence, it’s important to understand your legal options.
