If you suffered a spinal injury due to someone else’s negligence—such as a car accident, slip and fall, or workplace incident—you may have the right to file a personal injury claim. A skilled attorney will review key factors, including:
- Negligence or Fault of Another Party
Was someone else careless or reckless? For example, were they speeding, distracted, or violating traffic laws? Many spinal injuries happen because of negligent actions, like reckless driving or unsafe property conditions. - Legal Standing to File a Claim
Under California law, anyone who suffers a spinal injury due to another’s fault—and sometimes their family members—can seek compensation for damages. - Impact on Your Life and Health
To build a strong case, you need to show how the injury affected your health, ability to work, and daily activities. This includes medical bills, lost wages, ongoing therapy, and long-term care. Your lawyer will gather medical records, expert opinions, and witness statements to support your claim.
