Why Spinal Cord Injury Cases Require Specialized Legal Representation
Spinal injuries often involve:
- High lifetime medical costs exceeding millions of dollars
- Advanced medical technology and treatment plans
- Vocational rehabilitation and life-care planning
- Permanent disability and lifestyle adjustments
The legal process requires a deep understanding of the medical implications and the financial toll of spinal cord injuries. Our Personal Injury Attorneys partner with neurologists, orthopedic specialists, life-care planners, economists, and rehabilitation experts to accurately value your claim and secure the maximum compensation possible.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in New Mexico
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, motorcycle, and truck crashes are the leading causes of spinal trauma. Even low-speed collisions can result in vertebral fractures, herniated discs, or spinal cord severance—especially when seat belts malfunction or the impact is severe.
2. Falls from Height or Slip and Falls
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, stairwells, or uneven sidewalks can result in serious spinal cord damage. Elderly individuals and construction workers are especially vulnerable to traumatic spinal injuries from falls.
3. Workplace Accidents
High-risk industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing often involve spinal injuries due to falling objects, heavy equipment accidents, or unsafe working conditions. In these cases, both workers' compensation and third-party liability claims may apply.
4. Sports and Recreational Injuries
High-impact sports like football, diving, skiing, and gymnastics can lead to cervical or thoracic spinal damage. These injuries may involve equipment defects, negligent coaching, or unsafe playing environments.
5. Medical Malpractice or Surgical Error
Spinal cord damage may occur during surgery, through misdiagnosis, or due to anesthesia errors. Medical malpractice cases involving SCIs require detailed investigation and expert testimony to prove liability.
6. Acts of Violence
Gunshot wounds, stabbings, or other violent assaults can cause permanent spinal cord injuries. In these cases, both civil personal injury lawsuits and criminal restitution may be available.
Long-Term Consequences of Spinal Cord Injuries
SCIs often result in:
- Chronic pain and neuropathy
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Inability to walk or perform basic self-care tasks
- Increased risk of infections, pressure ulcers, and blood clots
- Severe emotional and psychological trauma
We work with your care providers to develop a comprehensive life care plan that outlines all future needs—medical, emotional, and financial.
