When Can You File a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit?

Florida residents who have suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligent actions of another qualify to file a lawsuit against that party or their insurance company. For these cases, the burden is on the plaintiff (the victim suing) and their attorney to prove the following elements of the case:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, meaning a legal obligation to act with care for the plaintiff’s health
  • The defendant breached this duty of care, such as a medical professional misdiagnosing the plaintiff’s health condition or a motorist texting while driving
  • The defendant’s negligence led to the plaintiff’s injury, such as the texting driver caused an accident with the plaintiff
  • The defendant’s negligence resulted in losses, such as medical debt, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life

If the plaintiff succeeds in proving all the above elements, they will be awarded compensation in the amount of their losses or damages.

Spinal cord injuries tend to greatly disrupt or forever alter one’s life, as well as the lives of loved ones, and cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Our trial lawyers work to maximize the compensation paid to our clients with spinal cord injuries, ensuring they have the means to pay for the care they need. Moreover, we fight to put our clients in the best possible position for moving forward.
