Our Q & A is a helpful resource for anyone who has suffered a spinal cord injury or wants to learn more about the legal process surrounding these types of injuries. Below you’ll find valuable information on a range of topics, from insurance claims to personal injury lawsuits.
What should I do if my spinal cord injury has caused me to become disabled?
Before taking any action, consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. Insurance firms, especially when faced with significant injury claims, often employ strategies to minimize payouts. Accepting a reduced amount might leave you without adequate funds for ongoing medical expenses. This could place a financial burden on you and your family, making you liable for costs that the insurance company should have borne.
Our legal team understands the rights of medical malpractice victims. They are also familiar with the tactics insurance companies use to evade providing rightful compensation. Before entering into any agreement with an insurance company, reach out to us. We are here to fight for your rights. Insurance companies don’t.
What should I do if my spinal cord injury was caused by a medical procedure?
At times, medical oversights or carelessness result in spinal cord injuries. Errors in diagnosis, surgical procedures, or anesthesia can drastically alter one’s life. Like other spinal cord injury cases, it’s essential to consult an adept medical malpractice attorney before finalizing any settlement or proceeding further.
Some hospitals in Texas employ lawyers specifically to deter or postpone legal actions by those harmed. These attorneys are aware that injured individuals have a limited window to initiate a claim. Missing this window means losing the chance to seek the compensation you might urgently need. If you suspect that a medical intervention caused your spinal cord injury, reach out to us immediately to discuss your circumstances.
Whom can I sue for my spinal cord injury?
You may file a claim against that party that you believe is liable for your injury. If your injury resulted from a slip-and-fall incident, a careless property owner might be the at-fault party. If a defective product caused harm, you can take legal action against the manufacturer, designer, or retailer. In the case of injuries from a medical procedure, several parties could be considered negligent including the doctor, nurse and anyone else who was working with you.
Every case is different, it’s essential to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney before embarking on any legal proceedings.
What damages could I receive if I make a spinal cord injury claim?
The damages that you could be eligible to receive depend on a variety of factors that include the extent of your injury, the impact the injury has on your well-being and your earning potential. In Texas, accident victims are entitled to receive damages for medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other noneconomic damages.
The economic and noneconomic damages you could receive may be significant. A reputable attorney will give you an honest assessment of your claim and your options.
