Common Causes Of Spinal Injury Accidents

Spine injury cases can come from any type of accident. Anytime your spinal cord is tweaked, pulled, pushed, or jerked, it can cause a serious spinal injury. These accidents can cause long-lasting consequences, including pain, headaches, or even paralysis.

Spinal injuries usually occur in the neck area and are common in car accidents and other vehicle accidents. Injuries can happen from the head hitting the windshield or from very severe whiplash. A disk injury or spinal cord injury can also occur in other types of accidents, such as slip-and-fall accidents, bicycle accidents, or motorcycle accidents.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Spinal Injury Claim?

Recovering from a spin injury can be expensive, especially when you are unable to work while you are healing. Our attorneys can help you and your family seek compensation against the negligent party that led to the accident and their insurance company.

You may be entitled to economic damages, including:

  • Medical care, including surgeries, medications, and necessary medical devices
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of future earning capacity

In addition, spine injuries can cause serious and lifelong mental distress, particularly when the injured victim is unable to live his or her life as they once did. In these cases, the victim may seek non-economic damages for their loss of enjoyment in life, loss of companionship in the case of a wrongful death, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Spinal Cord Injury Claims in California?

Understanding the statute of limitations is critical when pursuing a spinal cord injury claim in California. The statute of limitations is the legal time frame within which a victim must file a lawsuit. In California, the statute of limitations for spinal cord injury claims varies depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident.

For personal injury claims, including those related to spinal cord injuries, the general statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. However, certain exceptions may apply, and it is crucial to consult with experienced Chula Vista spine injury lawyers to determine the specific deadlines relevant to your case.

In cases involving government entities or public properties, there are additional complexities. A notice of claim must often be filed within six months from the date of the injury, making it imperative to act swiftly and seek legal guidance promptly.

    “He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends.”
    Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case

    “From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case.”
    I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.
    Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do!
