Spinal cord injuries are some of the most devastating injuries that you can experience. Each year, around 18,000 people in the United States suffer spinal cord injuries, with vehicle crashes, falls, acts of violence, and sports and recreational activities accounting for the majority of those injuries.
If someone else was responsible for causing your spinal cord injury, they should pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other economic and non-financial losses you experience. You’ll need to understand how to pursue a damage claim, though. Diaco Law can help.

Who is Responsible for Spinal Cord Injuries?
As the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation explains, paralysis resulting from a spinal cord injury can make employment impossible or very difficult, and can necessitate expensive ongoing medical intervention. This is why it is so important to hold those who harm you accountable for your losses.
In some cases, spinal cord injuries are just tragic accidents with no specific person to blame. In many other circumstances, though, someone’s carelessness or a company’s negligence or wrongdoing is the direct cause of a spinal cord injury.
Some of the most common examples of defendants whom you could pursue a claim include:
- Drivers who cause auto accidents that lead to spinal cord injury.
- Property owners who create unsafe conditions that result in a slip and fall or acts of violence due to negligent security
- Vehicle designers or manufacturers who fail to include appropriate safety equipment thus increasing your risk of spinal cord damage
- Manufacturers of dangerous products that malfunction and cause spinal cord injury
- Schools, coaches, and operators of athletic programs who are negligent in the supervision or operation of their program in a way that causes your spinal cord injury to occur
These are just some of the many parties you could potentially take legal action against when you suffer a spinal cord injury. Diaco Law will review the facts and circumstances of your case carefully to help you identify who should be held liable for your losses.
How can you find the Right Hyde Park Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer?
Spinal cord injury claims can be very complicated, and the claims are often very high-stakes because of the amount of money involved.
When you suffer a spinal cord injury, you may have a lifetime of expensive medical care to pay for, and you’ll likely be very limited in your ability to work. You should be fully compensated for both economic and non-financial losses in these situations.
