Who’s Responsible for a Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord injuries can stem from a wide range of accidents, including car crashes, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian accidents, and even medical malpractice. Identifying the incident that caused yours gets easier when you’re actively working with medical professionals. 

Professionals can assess the severity of your injury and use that evidence to speculate about the cause. Our personal injury lawyers can then step in and use additional evidence, including electronic data, witness statements, and video or photo footage, to assign specific liability for your injury.

Liability will depend not only on evidence but also on whether or not a specific party owed you a duty of care at the time of your accident. Proving that another party owed you a duty and violated that duty allows you to pursue an insurance claim with their provider or a personal injury lawsuit through California’s civil courts.

How Can You Financially Recover After a Spinal Cord Injury?

If you have the evidence needed to file an insurance claim against a liable party, an experienced California personal injury lawyer can help you negotiate for a fair settlement. We understand the tactics that insurers use when denying injury claims. As such, we can counter their attempts to claim that you don’t qualify for applicable support.

If you can’t get a fair accident settlement from an insurer, you can submit a spinal cord injury claim for consideration with California’s civil courts.

Filing a civil claim won’t require you to argue for spinal cord injury damages in front of a judge, though you have the right to do so. You can instead use a claim to assert legal authority and summon a liable party for negotiations.

You can discuss which of these processes you want to use to financially recover from a spinal cord injury during a free case consultation with our legal team.

Our spinal cord injury lawyers in California can go on to center your recovery goals and ensure that our legal strategy meets your needs.

What Can Sweet James Do for You?

Working with Sweet James lets you rely on experienced legal professionals throughout your recovery. We understand California law and can leverage that understanding on your behalf, fighting back when insurers and medical companies try to misrepresent your losses or offer you insufficient financial support.

You can count on us to thoroughly investigate the negligence that led to your injury and accurately establish the value of the settlement you can demand from liable parties.

We’ve secured millions of dollars for our clients using this skillset and aren’t afraid to counter the tried-and-tested tactics insurers can use to intimidate you out of negotiations.

In other words, Sweet James does not let an insurer or medical institution dictate how you get to financially recover from an accident. We even offer our services on a contingency fee basis. You won’t have to pay us anything upfront to start benefiting from our representation.

When Should You Call a California Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer?

We encourage you to get in touch with an experienced legal professional shortly after you or medical professionals detect a spinal cord injury.

We’re here to help you even if you don’t want to take legal action against a liable party.

We can break down your right to recoverable action and ensure that you can preserve your right to ask for support from an insurance company, as applicable. Early conversations let you make the most out of the time you have to act, even if you’re still not sure how you want to proceed with your recovery.

What’s California’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations?

If you want to move forward with a civil spinal cord injury case, you need to complete your paperwork before California’s personal injury statute of limitations expires. According to Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 335.1, victims and their representatives only have two years after a serious accident to submit a claim for consideration.

It’s easier to stay on top of your filing deadline when you have a California spinal cord injury attorney working on your case.

We can prioritize an investigation into your losses, as well as the work needed to complete your paperwork, while you focus on physical therapy and the steps needed to restore your lost quality of life.
