A Brief Summary of the Following Article
No two spinal cord injury accidents look alike. Sometimes, spinal cord injuries like whiplash resolve themselves within a few months. Other times, temporary or permanent spinal paralysis can force you to restructure your entire life. It’s not fair that you have to tackle either challenge alone, though, when you know someone else’s negligence caused your accident.
There’s good news for spinal cord injury accident survivors and their families, though. If you want to fight for justice after a dangerous accident, you can work with Kash Legal’s spinal cord injury attorneys. We can outline your fight for fair compensation and help you bring your fight to civil court.
REQUEST A FREE CONSULTATIONSome of the most severe spinal cord injuries will make themselves known right away after an accident. These injuries can often prove painful, generating electric-like shocks throughout your back. Others may result in immediate or onset paralysis.
That said, less severe spinal cord injuries may take some time to make themselves known. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have a spinal cord injury, keep an eye out for symptoms like the following:
If you start to experience these symptoms or notice them in someone else, get in touch with emergency responders as soon as you can. You can call 911 at the scene of an accident or get the impacted party to the emergency room to have these symptoms assessed.
If you want to take legal action after a spinal cord injury accident, make sure you do so within California’s personal injury statute of limitations. According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, spinal cord injury accident survivors and their representatives have no more than two years to act on their losses.
You must bring a relevant claim forward within that statute of limitations if you want to fight for fair compensation. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make the process of filing a personal injury claim simpler. These steps include the following:
Medical professionals play an essential role in your post-accident recovery. You need to work with medical professionals to address a spinal cord injury if you want a chance to restore your previous quality of life.
Moreover, working with medical professionals allows you to establish a paper trail. In other words, you can start to gather hard evidence elaborating on the severity of your accident as well as the value of your spinal cord injury accident losses.
You often have an obligation to file an insurance claim with an attending provider after a dangerous accident. Make sure you do so within a few days of your initial injury. The sooner you get an insurance claim to your provider, the sooner you can fight for supplemental accident support.
That said, be careful when working with an insurance provider. Insurance claims adjusters want to save their companies as much money as possible when assessing your losses. They may misrepresent your losses or the nature of your accident to do so. Fortunately, San Bernardino spinal cord injury lawyers can challenge that bad-faith behavior.
Our team can appeal a wrongfully denied spinal cord injury claim upon request. We can even sue an insurance provider that continues to act in bad faith. If you want help responding to bad-faith behaviors or communicating with an insurer, you can book a free case evaluation with our team.
While you don’t have to work with a personal injury lawyer to file a spinal cord injury accident claim, an experienced attorney can streamline the process. Our team can put our professional network to use for you, ensuring that expert witnesses can contribute to your fight for fair compensation.
Moreover, professional attorneys tend to have more flexibility in the wake of your spinal cord injury accident. You can focus on going to doctor’s appointments or going back to work while we gather evidence of accident liability. In other words, we make it easier for you to stay on top of legal deadlines without compromising your right to a straightforward recovery.
