Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit

I have suffered a spinal cord injury at a construction site accident. I am currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. My doctor has said that I won’t be able to return to work for at least 2 years. I am going to file a lawsuit. On what legal basis should I file my spinal cord injury lawsuit?

A spinal cord injury lawsuit may be filed on the following two legal grounds:

Spinal cord injury caused by negligence: If your spinal cord injury was caused due to negligence, you will need to prove that:
·         The defendant had a duty of care.
·         The defendant’s negligence caused your injuries.

Spinal cord injury caused by a defective product: If a defective or dangerous product caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation from the company that designed, manufactured, and sold that defective product.

  1. My husband suffered a spinal cord injury in a vehicle accident caused by someone else’s negligence. We are thinking of filing a claim. Do you think we should hire a lawyer?
