Common Types of Spinal Cord Injury Claims That We Settle
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury from a car accident caused by another party’s negligence or any other situation involving negligence, for that matter, you may be able to recover damages for your losses. In a negligence claim, your legal team must prove the presence of four elements: the duty of care owed by the defendant, the breach of this duty, the existence of your injury, and a link between said breach and your injury. There are many different examples of negligence-based accidents. That being said, here are the most common types of accidents resulting from the negligence of one or more parties:
-
The most common and (usually) the most devastating. If you receive a spinal cord injury from a motor vehicle accident, your injury is much more likely to be serious and life-altering. -
You’re not as likely to receive a spinal cord injury from this, but it is possible, and certainly so if you are elderly. These cases may fall under negligence claims if the accident involves negligent actions, such as not properly displaying signage near difficult terrain or wet floors. -
Sometimes improper quality control may lead to injury. For example, if you buy a display piece from a furniture store that wasn’t properly assembled and injure your back. Such situations may lead to permanent injury.
Common Types of Car Accidents
Of course, the list above only covers the three most common types of scenarios. Ward Law also takes into account other sources of spinal cord injuries when working to satisfy your claim. Here are a few examples of motor vehicle accidents that can result in spinal cord injuries:
Depending on the exact nature of your accident and injury, there will always be a different set of hoops to jump through. This is why recruiting the support of a solid legal team with proven experience is extremely important. You want to enlist the best because you deserve only the best.

Steps to Take After
a Spinal Cord Injury
Timing is always key if you have been involved in a major accident. If you can, you should immediately contact your insurance company to open up a claim. If the other party is negligent, consider your state’s statute of limitations — many states require that you file a claim within a certain period (usually within two years).
You’ll want to contact an experienced legal team as quickly as possible to help you handle the massive paper trail you are about to undertake. Often, your attorney will send investigators to the accident site to collect evidence and police reports. These will come in handy later when trying to maximize your claim.
Information must also be provided showing the severity of your injuries from the accident. Your legal team must establish any lost wages and earning capacity as a direct result of the injuries you received.
Keep all of your receipts (medical bills, treatment, etc.). You will need these to establish reimbursement amounts for your insurance company.
