What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when damage to the spinal cord results in partial or complete loss of function. This can affect your mobility, sensation, and independence. Common causes of SCIs in Alberta include car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and workplace injuries, all of which can leave you facing lifelong complications.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries:

  • Complete Spinal Cord Injury: Total loss of function below the injury site, often resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia.
  • Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Partial loss of function, where some motor or sensory functions remain intact.

Both types of injuries can lead to serious complications, including chronic pain, loss of bladder control, and muscle atrophy. Given the complex medical and legal implications, working with an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer is critical to securing your future.

Why You Need a Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Edmonton

Alberta’s legal system can feel complex after a spinal cord injury, but you don not have to face it alone. Whether you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, at work, or due to negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries. However, the legal process is complex, requiring deep knowledge of Alberta law, including specific provisions like the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund for uninsured drivers.

Compensation We Can Help You Recover:

  • Medical Expenses: Ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, surgeries, and assistive devices.
  • Loss of Income: Compensation for lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and future income losses.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional impact of your injury.
  • Cost of Care: Long-term care and support for those with permanent disabilities.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence, additional damages to punish the wrongdoer.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Alberta

Spinal cord injuries can result from many types of accidents. Each scenario brings unique legal challenges and opportunities for compensation:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car crashes are the leading cause of SCIs. Alberta law mandates strict guidelines for filing claims, and we will ensure you comply with Motor Vehicle Accident Fund rules.
  • Workplace Accidents: Injuries that happen on the job may entitle you to compensation through workers’ compensation or a lawsuit against third parties.
  • Slip-and-Fall Injuries: Property owners can be held liable if their negligence causes a slip-and-fall accident leading to a spinal cord injury.
  • Medical Malpractice: In some cases, errors during surgery or treatment may cause spinal cord injuries, allowing for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

If you have experienced any of these accidents, it is essential to contact an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer in Edmonton to secure your rights and pursue compensation.
