Does Your Spinal Cord Accident Qualify?
Many accidents can cause a spinal cord injury. But a few types of accidents are significantly more common and likely to cause severe spinal cord damage. If your injury resulted from one of the following accidents, our Sacramento personal injury lawyers could help you recover compensation:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries, often resulting in life-altering consequences for the victims. The sheer force and impact involved in car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle collisions can cause severe damage to the spinal cord. The sudden deceleration or change in motion during an accident can lead to fractures, dislocations, or vertebrae compression, damaging the delicate spinal cord tissue.
Depending on the location and severity of the injury, the consequences can range from partial paralysis to complete loss of motor and sensory function below the injury area. Spinal cord injuries’ emotional, physical, and financial toll can be immense, requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Falls
Falls are another common cause of spinal cord injuries, especially among older adults. Slip and fall accidents from heights, slippery surfaces, or poorly maintained premises can result in severe trauma to the spinal cord. Fractured vertebrae, herniated discs, or damage to the spinal cord can occur due to the impact during the fall.
Older individuals are particularly vulnerable, as age-related factors such as decreased bone density and balance impairments increase the risk of spinal cord injuries. These injuries can lead to varying degrees of paralysis, loss of sensation, and a significant decline in the quality of life. If you suffered a spinal cord injury in a fall, you should seek immediate help from a Sacramento spinal cord injury attorney to hold the negligent parties accountable and secure the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
Sports Injuries
Engaging in sports activities, especially contact sports, exposes athletes to the risk of spinal cord injuries. High-impact collisions, tackles, or falls during sports such as football, rugby, hockey, and diving can lead to severe trauma to the spinal cord. The force exerted on the spinal column can cause fractures, dislocations, or damage to the spinal cord.
Athletes who sustain spinal cord injuries may experience varying degrees of paralysis which will impact their ability to continue participating in their sport and lead to significant lifestyle changes. Seeking legal guidance in these cases is crucial to understanding the complexities of liability, especially when it involves sports organizations, coaches, or equipment manufacturers.
Our skilled spinal cord injury attorneys can help injured athletes pursue the compensation they deserve for their injuries, medical expenses, and other related damages. We understand the profound impact of spinal cord injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls, and sports-related incidents. Our Sacramento team is committed to providing you with compassionate legal representation when you’re faced with this severe injury.
How Long do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
After you suffer an injury as serious as a spinal cord injury, you’ll need to act fast to make sure you’re eligible for compensation. According to the California Courts, you have two years from your injury date to file a personal injury claim. But if you didn’t discover your injury right away, you’ll have one year from when you discovered your spinal cord damage to file a claim.
Even though you have a set amount of time to file, you could have a different deadline depending on your accident’s details. A Sacramento spinal cord injury attorney from our law firm can help determine exactly how long you have to file a claim.
