Damage to the spinal cord can result in catastrophic injuries, and some may even be fatal. Treatment for a spinal cord injury can be costly, and the injury can likely result in a lowered quality of life and lost wages. It is important to work with a skilled personal injury attorney to ensure you receive just compensation for your losses.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
There are numerous circumstances under which you may suffer a spinal cord injury. The most common circumstance is a motor vehicle accident involving a truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian. There are also several types of car accidents, including multi-car collisions, which can result in catastrophic injury. In these scenarios, injuries to the head, neck, back, and spinal cord are common and can be life-threatening. Rocky Walton can help successfully bring your case against the driver at fault, a car manufacturer, or any other responsible party.
Some occupations such as construction work are inherently high-risk, increasing the chances of a catastrophic injury. Premises liability cases such as a slip and fall accident may also result in a spinal cord injury. These accidents commonly occur due to water leaks, and the building owner may be held liable for any damages.
