A spinal cord injury lawsuit is a personal injury claim. It’s a civil claim where the victim alleges that the defendant is to blame for the accident and their injuries. There is no prosecutor involved, and the victim may have their own attorneys represent them.

The victim gathers the evidence and presents their theory of the case. The parties may have a jury trial. Because it is a civil trial, jail time for the defendant is not the remedy. Rather, a spinal cord injury lawsuit is the kind that may result in financial compensation for the victim.

Types of Compensation in Spinal Cord Injury Cases

The types of compensation that a victim may receive in a spinal cord injury case include:

• Cost of emergency medical treatment
• Long-term medical care needs
• Wheelchairs and other mobility devices
• Home modifications
• Caregiving including nursing and personal caregiving
• Rehabilitative treatment; physical and occupational therapy
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional health treatment
• Mental health damages and treatment expenses
• Property damage
• Short-term and long-term lost wages and income
• Punitive damages
• Court costs and attorney fees

What you receive in compensation depends on the injuries you have, the type of legal fault that the defendant has and the nature of their conduct. It’s important not to overlook categories of damages, like pain and suffering, that can significantly increase the value of a claim. Our Colorado Springs spinal cord injury lawyers work diligently in order to include all categories of compensation for each victim.

What’s Involved in a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit?

Victims rightfully want to know what to expect in bringing a spinal cord injury lawsuit. To receive financial compensation, you must show who is responsible for your injuries, what injuries you have, and what those injuries are worth from a legal standpoint. That means gathering proof of each item. Our lawyers work to gather medical records, witness testimony and other evidence as needed to prove the case.

Although you file your claim in court, most spinal cord injury cases do not go to trial. That’s because we work diligently ahead of trial to build a strong case. Then, we rely on the strength of your case to negotiate an effective resolution. Our team gives you honest, clear advice about whether it’s best to take your case to trial or accept a settlement. Ultimately, the choice is up to you. In all cases, we work diligently until you have justice.
