Identifying Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in San Francisco

The most common cause of spinal cord injuries in San Francisco is experiencing a car accident. Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of these types of injuries because the neck and spine are subjected to extreme force and pressure in a collision. Spinal cord injuries are also common after falls, intentional acts of violence, and sports injuries.

Navigating the Legal Landscape of Spinal Cord Injury Claims in San Francisco

Under San Francisco’s personal injury laws, individuals who get injured and suffer losses after an accident that’s someone else’s fault might be able to recover some of their expenses from the at-fault party. In the context of a spinal cord injury claim, you’d need to prove all the following elements to have a successful claim.

• The other party had a legal duty to provide for your care and safety.
• The other party failed to uphold their duty of care.
• This breach in the duty of care led to the accident.
• The accident caused a spinal cord injury and led to losses.

When a legal duty of care is breached, that’s considered legal negligence. A legal duty of care is established in many situations including when you’re driving, at your doctor’s office, buying products from a store, or traversing through a business’s property.

The Importance of Filing a Spinal Cord Injury Claim

When you suffer an accident and get diagnosed with a spinal cord injury, you’ll likely face an unexpected windfall of financial losses. Not only will you likely get hit with a massive medical bill from your initial treatments, but you might also need substantial long-term treatment, too. On top of those losses, your injury might be keeping you from being able to return to work. Depending on the situation, you might also be facing other losses, like property damage. Filing a claim is important because it can help you get the compensation you’re entitled to receive under the law. You shouldn’t have to bear the burden of your losses when someone else caused the incident.

Seeking Full Compensation for Spinal Cord Injury Victims

So, how much might your spinal cord injury claim be worth? The value of your claim will be determined by first adding up all your financial losses. These losses include all the actual monetary expenses you suffered due to the accident and injury. Things like your medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and future medical costs should be included in this estimate. Next, you’ll need to consider whether you want to pursue non-economic damages. These types of losses are more difficult to value because they’re non-monetary. Things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, or a drop in one’s quality of life could be considered non-economic damage that you could seek compensation for in a spinal cord injury case.
