Proving Negligence in a Spinal Cord Injury Case

michelle November 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

A spinal cord injury is often an injury that results from a serious accident and that can lead to extensive disability. Depending upon which area of the spine was affected, partial or total paralysis may occur of any part of the body or of the entire body. This type of injury is life-altering and can mean many years or even a lifetime of expenses for medical or surgical treatment and rehabilitation. That is why it’s so important to hire a skilled spinal cord injury attorney as soon as possible after the injury. This attorney can deal effectively with the insurance companies and can gather the evidence and documentation needed to get you a compensation settlement that truly meets your needs.

The Standard of Care

To prove that someone’s negligence led to the accident that caused a spinal cord injury, it is necessary to show that that person had a duty of care toward the injured party and that, somehow, that duty was breached. If the defendant was the driver of a car who behaved recklessly or was driving while drunk, it must be shown that the driver’s negligence was the cause of the accident that led to the injury. The driver breached the duty of care because those who drive are expected to follow the laws that regulate driving safety. In the same manner, a doctor must follow the standard of care that meets the expectations of the medical community. Should he or she breach this standard of care, then it is possible that negligence could be found.
