Taking Legal Action Based On A Spinal Cord Injury

The spinal cord is the column of nerve tissue protected by the spine and is in charge of delivering messages from the brain to the rest of the body. A victim may suffer a number of different types of spinal cord injuries, such as a herniated disc, crushed vertebrae, spinal cord compression, and fractured spine. Many spinal cord injuries cause complete paralysis of the lower limbs and usually the lower torso, known as paraplegia. They may also lead to complete paralysis of all four limbs, known as quadriplegia. Some victims have complete or incomplete injuries and most need lifelong rehab services and assistance.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 11,000 people sustain spinal cord injuries each year. Some common causes of these injuries are motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slips and falls, sports accidents, and construction accidents.

In many cases, spinal cord injuries could have been prevented. If you have been involved in an accident because of the negligence of another party in the Gainesville area, our spinal cord injury lawyers can help you determine whether you may be entitled to compensation. Negligence occurs when someone causes harm because they failed to use the level of care that a reasonable person would have used in the same or similar circumstances. In order to succeed in a negligence claim, the plaintiff must provide evidence that the defendant had a duty to use a certain level of care, the defendant failed to use this level of care, and their spinal cord injury was a direct result of the defendant’s failure to use the proper care.

Under Georgia law, a plaintiff must establish their case by a preponderance of the evidence. This means only that the plaintiff’s version of events is more likely to be true than the defendant’s version of events. If a plaintiff meets this burden, they may be able to obtain compensation for a wide range of costs related to their medical bills and any lost income or earning capacity. They also may be able to receive compensation for their subjective pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and any disability that they developed.
