If you or someone you love experienced a spinal cord injury that was partially or wholly caused by someone else’s negligent, intentional, or reckless conduct, you may be entitled to monetary damages. At Kasan Law, our Chicago and Illinois injury attorneys believe that everyone deserves quality legal representation.
Our Chicago and Illinois spinal cord injury attorneys handle a variety of spinal cord injuries caused by:
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis are common injuries sustained from car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. A spinal cord injury occurs when any part of the spinal cord or the nerves at the end of the spinal canal are damaged.
Injuries to the spinal cord often cause permanent changes to the strength and sensations below the site of the injury. The closer the spinal cord injury is to the brain, the more the body is affected.
An individual’s ability to control their limbs after a spinal cord injury depends on where the injury occurs on the spinal cord and severity of the injury.
If you or a loved one has a spinal cord injury due to the negligence of another person, a member of our Chicago and Illinois spinal cord injury attorneys can help you.
The severity of spinal cord injury can be complete or incomplete.
Paralysis can be categorized as:
According to the Mayo Clinic, a spinal cord injury is “damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal,” often causing “permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other body functions below the site of the injury.”
Some causes of spinal cord injuries may stem from:
Were you hurt on someone else’s property? If so, the property owner or manager could be liable for your accident and any subsequent injuries if proper safety and security measures were not in place.
Were you the victim of a violent assault? Not only your attacker but any premises owner that failed to provide adequate security or other legally required deterrents to criminal activity (such as proper lighting at night or camera surveillance), could be held liable for the total cost for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost income from time away from work, as well as diminished quality of life.
Serious motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of debilitating spinal cord damage. Victims owe it to themselves and their families to work with spinal cord injury attorneys. If a drunk, distracted, or otherwise negligent driver has irreversibly changed the course of your life, the at-fault party should be held accountable for the damages.
