Negligence-Caused Spinal Cord Injuries And Your Legal Rights 

Simply put, spinal cord injuries caused by negligence are those that result from a responsible party (person or entity) abandoning their reasonable duty of care for the safety of another person.

Spinal cord injuries can occur through a traumatic or penetrative injury, as would happen in a semi-truck collision, fall from heights, or in the course of an assault. Infections, tumors, and other degenerative spinal cord conditions can also cause spinal cord injury. Many of these conditions are treatable, but if you were a victim of medical malpractice or misdiagnosis, then you may have missed the valuable window for successful early intervention. Spinal cord injuries can be tricky to treat, and often involve invasive, painful medical procedures, with no guarantee of recovery. You deserve care and support—and that’s what we deliver.

No matter how your spinal cord injury happened, if it was due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to file a lawsuit for compensatory damages. Our Lake Worth spinal cord injury lawyers know that no amount of money can restore you to the same condition you were. However, a civil action can provide you the means for all the specialty medical treatment you require, including top-quality physical therapy, surgery performed by experts, plus modifications to your home and vehicle so that you can enjoy as much independence as possible.
