Spinal Cord & Back Injuries in Hamilton County

The spinal cord serves as the body’s communication network, sending signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When this connection is disrupted due to trauma, the results can be devastating. Spinal injuries can cause paralysis, chronic pain, and long-term mobility issues. While some back injuries heal with time, others require extensive medical intervention, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care.

If your spinal cord injury was caused by negligence, you should not bear the financial burden. KNR’s experienced personal injury lawyers will fight to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Spinal Injury Severity & Types of Paralysis

One of the most significant factors in a spinal injury is where the injury happened. For instance, if your spinal cord is damaged higher up on your spine, you could lose some or all feeling from your neck.

A complete spinal cord injury means you have no sensation from where you were injured on your spine and below. A partial or incomplete spinal cord injury means you may retain some function below the injury. If your injury was relatively minor, you might have to live with decreased sensation or tingling in your legs from nerve damage.

A complete injury can happen without the spinal cord being severed. A total loss of function can happen when the spinal cord is severely stretched or crushed.

If you lose all or some ability to use your legs, this is known as paraplegia. You may be completely paralyzed from the waist or hips down, or you may only suffer from reduced mobility. Quadriplegia, or tetraplegia as many physicians call it, affects all four limbs and the torso.

Back & Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms

Unless the trauma is significant, spinal cord injuries may not be instantly recognizable. Some common signs of spinal cord injury are:

  • Loss of bowel movements
  • Paralysis or mild loss of mobility
  • Loss of sensation
  • Tingling
  • Weakness of back or limbs
  • Limb incoordination
  • Impaired breathing

Spinal Cord Injury Treatment & Care

Spinal injuries are often incredibly painful and result in long-term medical costs. Treatment may involve:

  • Spinal fusion surgery
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Home modifications
  • Ongoing pain management

At KNR, we work with Cincinnati’s top medical professionals and rehabilitation centers to ensure you receive the treatment you need and document your medical expenses accurately.

Proving Negligence for Spinal Cord Injuries

To recover compensation after a spinal injury, you must prove that another party was negligent. This involves demonstrating:

  • Duty of care: The defendant owed you a duty to act responsibly (e.g., obeying traffic laws).
  • Breach of duty: The defendant failed to act responsibly.
  • Causation: The defendant’s breach directly caused your spinal cord injury.
  • Damages: You suffered measurable losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

KNR will investigate your case, gather evidence, and work with experts to build a strong claim for compensation.

For instance, if you suffered an SCI in a car crash, you would file a claim against the liable car insurance company and argue that the other driver had a duty to follow the traffic laws. Then, you must demonstrate that you suffered economic and non-economic losses. This could be your medical bills, lost wages, diminished quality of life, or pain and suffering.

Lucha por todo lo que te corresponde

What Compensation is Available after a Spine Injury?

Whether it involves a herniated disc in a slip and fall or a complete spinal injury leaving you partially paralyzed, if you or a loved one suffered spinal cord damage because someone was negligent, you deserve to hold the liable party accountable and recover compensation for everything you lost due to your injury.

This could be the difference in recovering the wages you lost or will lose because you can no longer work, getting the medical care you need, and modifying your home to me your new mobility needs. KNR can guide you, negotiate with the insurance company, and fight for the maximum amount possible.

Recoverable Damages After a Spinal Injury

Depending on the nature of your injuries, a spinal injury lawsuit or insurance claim can help you recover:

  • Gastos médicos
  • Salarios no percibidos
  • Dolor y sufrimiento
  • Sufrimiento emocional y angustia mental
  • Pérdida de la vida en común

If a spinal injury resulted in a loved one’s death, a family might be able to pursue a wrongful death claim.

Remember, it’s important to seek compensation immediately if you or a loved one are injured. Ohio’s statute of limitations expires after two years. Therefore, your claim could be dismissed if you wait too long after a spinal injury.

FAQs About Spinal Cord Injury Claims in Cincinnati

Can I File a Spinal Cord Injury Claim if I Was Partially at Fault?

 

Yes, Ohio follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means you can still recover damages if you were partially at fault, as long as you are less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What Can I Recover for a Spinal Cord Injury?

 

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, rehabilitation costs, loss of future earning capacity, and other expenses related to your spinal injury. In severe cases, compensation may also include future care and home modifications.

How Do I Prove the Extent of My Spinal Cord Injury?

 

Your medical records, diagnostic tests like MRIs or CT scans, and testimony from medical experts will be critical in proving the severity of your spinal cord injury. Additionally, expert witnesses can provide assessments of long-term impacts on your mobility, earning potential, and quality of life.

What If My Loved One Can’t Communicate Due to a Spinal Cord Injury?

 

If a loved one is incapacitated due to a spinal injury and cannot represent themselves, a legal guardian or representative can file a claim on their behalf. Our attorneys can guide you through this process to ensure their rights are protected.

Will My Spinal Cord Injury Case Go to Trial?

 

While many spinal injury cases are settled out of court, there’s always a possibility of going to trial if a fair settlement can’t be reached. Our experienced attorneys are prepared to take your case to court and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Costs Are Associated with a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit?

 

KNR works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay any upfront legal fees. We only get paid if we win your case, either through a settlement or court verdict.

Can I Sue if My Spinal Cord Injury Was Caused by a Slip-and-Fall Accident?

 

Yes, if the fall occurred due to unsafe conditions or negligence by a property owner, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Our attorneys can help determine if you have a valid case.

How Are Future Medical Expenses Calculated in a Spinal Cord Injury Claim?

 

Expert witnesses, such as life care planners and medical professionals, help estimate the long-term costs of care, including rehabilitation, in-home assistance, and any future medical treatments you may need. These calculations are used to ensure you receive compensation for future expenses.

What If My Spinal Cord Injury Happened at Work?

 

If your spinal cord injury occurred while on the job, you may be entitled to both workers’ compensation benefits and a personal injury claim if a third party was involved. Our attorneys will review the circumstances to ensure you receive all possible compensation.
