No other injury changes the dynamics of a family structure as much as a spinal cord injury can. For most victims, the only way to rebuild their lives is by collecting maximum compensation.
Not sure whether you have a case?
If Someone Else’s Negligence Caused Your Injury,
YOU LIKELY HAVE A CASE
Who Is Responsible?
To receive compensation for a spinal cord injury in Utah, you must prove that someone else was at fault for your injury. In legal terms, you need to prove that they were “negligent,” or acted in a way that accidentally or intentionally caused harm.
Did Someone Make Your Injury Worse?
In some cases, no one is liable for the original injury, but someone acted in a way that made the injury worse. You have the option to sue anyone who played a role in your injury as long as you can prove they were negligent.
Do They Have Resources?
It is important to know your chances of collectingbefore filing a spinal cord injury lawsuit. If the person you wish to sue does not have insurance or other assets, it may cost more to pursue the claim than you can collect.
The Type of Injury You Suffered
PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN YOUR CASE
The severity of your spinal cord injury and the impact it has on your daily life can play a major role in the amount of compensation you can collect.
Symptoms Differ
According to the Affected Area
Cervical
Damage to the cervical spine can affect your upper extremities and even impair your ability to breathe.
Thoracic
Most injuries to the thoracic spine affect your legs, making walking difficult or impossible.
Lumbar
Lumbar spine injuries can affect your legs as well as your bladder function.
Do you know what caused your injury?
The Cause of Your Injury
WILL DIRECTLY INFLUENCE YOUR CASE
In order to qualify for a personal injury lawsuit, your injury must have been directly caused by the negligence or reckless actions of another party. The cause of your injury will directly influence how we pursue your case.
For example:
If your spine was injured during a car accident against a reckless driver, we can sue the driver
If your spine was injured during a car accident caused by a defective auto part, we can sue the manufacturer or designer
If your spine was injured during a medical procedure during which the doctor breached their standard of care, we may be able to sue the doctor, the hospital, or both
Because the cause of your spinal cord injury is not always immediately obvious, you need the assistance of a lawyer before accepting any settlement from insurance companies.
