Common Questions About Spinal Injuries
How long does it take to resolve a spinal cord injury case?
The timeline for resolving a spinal cord injury case depends on the complexity of the injury, the number of parties involved, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may be resolved in several months, while others can take years, particularly if litigation is necessary. Settling before trial can often speed up the process, but it’s important to work with an attorney who will balance efficiency with securing the maximum compensation for your recovery.
How can an attorney prove fault in a spinal cord injury case?
Proving fault in a spinal cord injury case requires collecting evidence that demonstrates the negligence of the responsible party. This may include eyewitness testimony, accident reports, medical records, surveillance footage, and expert witness testimony, such as accident reconstruction specialists. An experienced attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to build a strong case, establishing how the defendant’s actions led to the injury and ensuring that all liable parties are held accountable.
What are the common causes of spinal cord injuries in personal injury cases?
Spinal cord injuries often result from severe accidents such as motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall incidents, workplace accidents, sports injuries, and recreational activities. The most common causes in personal injury cases are car accidents and falls, which can lead to life-changing spinal trauma. Knowing the cause is essential in establishing liability and securing compensation for ongoing medical treatment, lost income, and lifestyle adjustments.
How much does it cost to hire a spinal cord injury lawyer, and do I need to pay upfront?
At Phillip’s & Pelly, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. You do not need to pay any fees upfront.
