A spinal cord injury claim can arise from vehicle crashes, falls, or other accidents where another party’s negligence caused serious damage to the spine. The key is proving fault, the extent of injuries, and the impact on your life. Medical records and expert opinions play a crucial role in establishing your damages.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years, though certain circumstances can change the deadline. It is important to start your claim early to preserve evidence and protect rights.
Damages may include medical expenses (current and future), rehabilitation, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non‑economic losses such as pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on injury severity and long‑term needs.
Having a lawyer helps ensure your rights are protected, paperwork is filed correctly, and negotiations with insurers are thorough. An attorney can coordinate medical evidence and advocate for full and fair compensation.
Bring any police or incident reports, medical records, a list of doctors and treatments, proof of income, and notes about how the injury affected your daily life.
