Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Approximately 12,000 new spinal cord injuries occur each year. Depending on the location of the spinal cord injury, the victim could suffer partial or complete paralysis. In severe cases, breathing and other involuntary reflexes may be compromised. Spinal cord injuries typically require months or years of medical and rehabilitation treatment.

Causes of spinal cord injuries:
- The defendant sold the patron the alcohol
- The alcohol caused the patron’s intoxication (which could be foreseen by the defendant)
- The plaintiff has damages
- The plaintiff’s damages were caused by (at least in part) the patron’s intoxication
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Violent acts and other intentional torts
- Sports incidents
Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or complete paralysis, or death, and the medical costs and other expenses associated with a spinal cord injury can be astronomical. Spinal cord injuries frequently require a lifetime of medical care and rehabilitation, and someone who suffers a spinal cord injury may be unable to work after the accident.
If you or someone you loved has suffered a spinal cord injury because of the conduct of someone else, you may be entitled to compensation to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation and counseling costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Lawsuits involving brain injuries involve complex legal issues and require a comprehensive factual analysis.
Preserving Evidence
If you or someone you love has suffered a spinal cord injury, you are likely most concerned with recovery and rehabilitation. While medical treatment should take priority over legal issues, it is important to remember that there are time limitations in which a cause of action can be asserted to recover compensation following a spinal cord injury. Accordingly, victims of spinal cord injuries should take care to ensure that evidence is preserved.
A spinal cord injury victim should also notify his or her insurance company of the accident. You may also wish to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney like the Chicago spinal cord attorneys at Ankin Law.
