How Does a Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Determine Fault?

How fault is determined always varies for each case, but typically the process involves an investigation to collect evidence and identify liable parties. Once the evidence to support your claim is gathered, your attorney can present the evidence to the party that is deemed responsible for your injury. The evidence in question may be witness statements, surveillance footage, police reports, accident reports, and pictures of the accident scene, among other things.

Types of Spinal Injuries

There are four sections of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. Any of these sections may be affected by a spinal injury. Spinal cord injuries are categorized into two different levels – complete and incomplete.

  • Complete: An injury that causes permanent damage, such as tetraplegia or paraplegia.
  • Incomplete: An injury that causes partial damage to the spinal cord, that does not completely remove sensation or the ability to move. Severity varies depending on the injury.

Common Causes of Spinal Injuries

  • Car Accidents: Have you recently been in a car accident? Even if you don’t feel any pain currently, see a doctor to make sure that you were not injured, as some injuries are not immediately symptomatic.
