Medical Negligence- Most doctors are skilled, careful providers who take extraordinary precautions to avoid harming their patients. But even the best doctors make mistakes. Medical malpractice comes in a variety of forms:

  • Failing to treat a condition.
  • Failing to properly diagnose a condition.
  • Recommending treatment that goes against the standard of care.
  • Recommending a treatment that is likely to harm a patient.
  • Exposing a patient to something harmful, such as an allergen.
  • Performing the wrong treatment, such as amputating the wrong leg.
  • Giving the wrong dose of a potentially dangerous drug.

To win a brain or spinal cord injury medical malpractice claim, it’s not enough to show that you were injured, or that a better treatment option was available. You must show that your doctor deviated from the standard of care. Failure to try an experimental treatment, then, will not be medical malpractice. Please call The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm to discuss whether you have a viable claim.

Product Liability-Each year thousands of Americans are injured by defective products.  Spinal cord injuries are often caused by defective vehicle parts, defective tires, or defective products.  If your injury was a result of a defective tire, brakes, airbag, rollover, roof crush, construction equipment, unsafe flooring or other defective products, contact The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm to discuss your legal options.

Premise Liability- Spinal cord injuries can often be the result of a fall or other acute event while at a business.  If you have suffered a catastophic injury, including a spinal cord injury while on someone else’s property, please contact The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm to discuss your legal options.

Shooting/ Assault due to Negligent Security-We live in an increasingly violent society with gun-related injuries becoming particularly common. Gunshot wounds lead to 15,000 fatalities each year, and an additional 115,000 people sustain non-fatal injuries, including serious brain and spinal cord injuries. If you have been assaulted, the other party may be prosecuted, but you also have a right to pursue a civil action for your injuries.  Businesses have a duty to keep individuals safe and when a person is injured from violence on their property it may be because there was a lack of adequate security. Individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury following gun violence while on a business property or apartment complex should contact The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm to determine what civil actions are available to pursue.
