A man suffering from mobility issues after a Boston spinal cord injury is seen using his wheelchair.

A spinal cord injury claim may be available when another person, business, or organization caused the injury through negligent conduct. These claims can arise after vehicle accidents, falls, unsafe property conditions, construction incidents, defective products, medical errors, and other events.

Spinal cord injuries are different from many ordinary back-injury claims. Damage to the spinal cord can affect movement, sensation, breathing, bladder or bowel function, and a person’s ability to live independently. The financial effects may also extend far beyond emergency treatment, including rehabilitation, personal care, assistive equipment, home or vehicle modifications, and reduced earning capacity.

A Boston spinal cord injury lawyer can investigate what happened, preserve evidence, identify the parties who may be responsible, and document both current and future losses. Jim Glaser Law offers free consultations to help you understand what your case is worth and how we can help you seek financial recovery!

Jimmy has helped me out with auto accidents for my brother in law, he has helped me out with my property insurance claim and even helped out with immigration.

I submitted a negative review a week or so ago. The next day I received a phone call from Jimmy himself. He was very professional and very concerned with the problems I was experiencing. He asked me to give him a couple hours and he would dig into the problem and get right back to me. Jimmy is truly a man of his word,he called me back as promised explained the situation and has talked to me several times since to insure that I was being taken care of. Jimmy is a good person and definitely cares about his clients. David Cooper

I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury occurs when trauma damages the spinal cord, interrupting communication between the brain and parts of the body below the injury. Depending on the injury, a person may experience changes in movement, sensation, breathing, bladder or bowel function, and independence.

Not every injury involving the back or spine is a spinal cord injury. Vertebral fractures, disc injuries, nerve injuries, and soft-tissue injuries can all be serious, but they affect different structures and may involve different medical issues. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke provides additional information about spinal cord injuries and their effects.

Complete and Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries

A complete spinal cord injury involves a total loss of sensory and motor function below the level of the injury. An incomplete spinal cord injury means some sensory or motor function remains below the injured area.

The effects of either type of injury vary. A person’s function and prognosis can depend on the injury’s location, completeness, severity, treatment, and individual circumstances. Treating medical professionals are best positioned to discuss prognosis and recovery.

Spinal Cord Injuries vs. Vertebral Fractures and Disc Injuries

The vertebrae are the bones that protect the spinal cord, while discs cushion the spaces between those bones. A fracture, dislocation, or disc injury may cause serious pain, mobility problems, or other limitations. In some cases, these injuries can also place pressure on or damage the spinal cord.

However, a vertebral fracture or disc injury isn’t automatically a spinal cord injury. Medical records and diagnostic testing can help identify the structures affected and the full extent of the injury.

Nerve-Root and Cauda Equina Injuries

Nerve-root injuries affect the nerves that branch from the spinal cord. Cauda equina injuries affect a bundle of nerves at the lower end of the spinal canal. These injuries differ from damage to the spinal cord itself, but they can still cause serious pain, weakness, numbness, sensory changes, and limits on daily activities.

Other Back and Neck Injuries

Other back and neck injuries may include strains, sprains, muscle spasms, tendinitis, contusions, and similar soft-tissue damage. These injuries shouldn’t be treated as equivalent to spinal cord damage, but they can still disrupt work, mobility, sleep, and daily life. When another party caused the injury, a serious back or neck injury may support a personal injury claim.

How Can a Boston Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Help?

A spinal cord injury claim often requires careful investigation and detailed evidence. An attorney can examine how the injury occurred, identify the parties who may be responsible, and document the full effect the injury has had on your life.

  • Investigating the accident or incident that caused the injury
  • Identifying all potentially responsible parties and available insurance coverage
  • Preserving accident evidence, including photos, video, reports, and witness information

  • Documenting functional limitations, daily care needs, and changes in independence
  • Evaluating future medical care, assistive equipment, home modifications, and lost earning capacity
  • Addressing insurer arguments about causation, preexisting conditions, or prognosis
  • Preparing the claim for settlement discussions or trial when necessary

What Evidence Can Help Prove a Spinal Cord Injury Claim?

Evidence can help show how an injury happened, who may be responsible, and how the injury has affected a person’s health, independence, and ability to work. The records needed in a spinal cord injury claim depend on the circumstances, but thorough documentation can help present a clearer picture of both liability and losses.

Medical evidence may include diagnostic imaging, hospital records, surgical records, neurological examinations, treatment plans, and rehabilitation records. These materials can help document the diagnosis, treatment received, physical limitations, and medical needs related to the injury.

A spinal cord injury may affect mobility, self-care, transportation, work, and other daily activities. Functional-capacity evaluations, records of assistive devices or personal care, and statements from family members or caregivers can help show those effects. Medical and professional projections may also help evaluate future care needs.

Evidence from the incident itself can help establish liability. Depending on the case, this may include accident reports, photographs, video footage, witness statements, vehicle data, property-maintenance records, and other records connected to the event.

Wage records, tax documents, job descriptions, performance records, and evidence of missed work can help document lost income. These records may also help show whether the injury has reduced a person’s ability to return to their prior work or earn income in the future.

Evidence can disappear quickly after a serious accident. Video footage may be overwritten, vehicles repaired or destroyed, physical conditions changed, and witnesses’ memories fade. Our team at Jim Glaser Law can act promptly to identify and preserve evidence that may help explain what happened and support the full impact of your spinal cord injury.

We can request relevant records, seek available footage, communicate with insurance companies and other parties, and work with qualified experts when appropriate. While you focus on medical care and rehabilitation, we can begin constructing a clear, well-documented claim for full compensation.

How Are the Lifetime Costs of a Spinal Cord Injury Calculated?

The lifetime cost of a spinal cord injury involves more than adding current medical bills. A claim may need to account for the treatment and support a person may need in the years ahead, as well as the injury’s effect on their ability to earn income and live independently.

Potential future losses may include ongoing medical treatment, therapy, medication, personal assistance, mobility equipment, home modifications, accessible transportation, and reduced earning capacity. The type and extent of these needs depend on the individual’s injury, medical condition, functional limitations, and prognosis.

When appropriate, we work with physicians, rehabilitation professionals, life-care planners, vocational professionals, and economists to help evaluate future medical needs, care costs, and employment-related losses. Their evaluations can help ensure that a claim reflects the full financial impact of a serious spinal cord injury, not only the costs already incurred.

Who May Be Liable for a Spinal Cord Injury?

Liability for a spinal cord injury depends on how the injury occurred and the available evidence. In some cases, more than 1 person, business, or organization may have contributed to the event. Identifying every potentially responsible party can be an important part of pursuing a claim.

Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:

  • Negligent drivers who caused a vehicle accident
  • Commercial carriers, trucking companies, or other transportation businesses
  • Property owners and businesses that failed to address dangerous conditions
  • Contractors and construction companies involved in unsafe work sites
  • Employers or third parties whose actions contributed to a work-related injury
  • Product manufacturers when a defective product caused or worsened the injury
  • Medical providers when negligent care caused additional harm
  • Government entities, where applicable

Each type of claim involves different evidence and, in some cases, different procedural rules or deadlines. A careful investigation by your attorney can help determine who may be responsible for the injury and available losses.

What Factors Affect the Value of a Spinal Cord Injury Claim?

There is no meaningful “average settlement” for a spinal cord injury claim. The value of a claim depends on the specific injury, its effects on the person’s life, the available evidence, and the parties and insurance coverage involved.

Factors that may affect a claim include:

  • Whether the injury is complete or incomplete
  • The neurological level of injury
  • Prognosis and functional limitations
  • Past and future medical care
  • Personal assistance needs
  • Home and vehicle modifications
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of independence
  • Effects on family relationships
  • Available insurance coverage and responsible parties
  • The strength of liability and causation evidence

A thorough claim evaluation should consider both the losses already experienced and the needs that may arise in the future.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can result from sudden trauma that damages the spinal cord or places severe pressure on it. Common causes include:

  • Vehicle accidents: A car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accident may cause violent impact, compression, or twisting of the spine.
  • Falls: Falls from ladders, roofs, scaffolding, stairs, or unsafe surfaces can cause serious spinal trauma.
  • Construction incidents: Falling objects, equipment failures, falls from heights, and other hazards at construction sites may cause spinal cord injuries.
  • Acts of violence: Assaults, gunshot wounds, and other violent acts can cause direct trauma to the spine or spinal cord.
  • Defective products: A dangerous or defective vehicle part, safety device, medical device, or other product may contribute to an injury.
  • Medical or surgical errors: Errors during surgery, treatment, diagnosis, or care involving the spine may cause or worsen spinal cord damage.

The facts of the incident, medical evidence, and available insurance coverage can all affect whether a legal claim may be available.

Can You Recover Compensation if You Were Partly at Fault?

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still be able to recover damages if another party was also at fault. However, if you’re found to be 50% or more at fault for the injury, you can’t recover damages from the other party.

If you’re less than 50% at fault, any damages awarded may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault, your recovery would generally be reduced by 20%.

Insurance companies and opposing parties may try to shift more blame to you than the evidence supports. An attorney can investigate the incident, challenge unfair shared-fault allegations, and present the evidence needed to protect your right to fair compensation.

How Long Do You Have to File a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit in Massachusetts?

Most Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits must generally be filed within 3 years. Missing the applicable filing deadline can prevent an injured person from pursuing a claim in court.

Different rules or deadlines may apply in certain situations, including claims involving:

  • Government entities
  • Medical malpractice
  • Minors
  • Wrongful death
  • Other exceptional circumstances

The deadline that applies to a spinal cord injury claim depends on the facts of the case. Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible can help preserve evidence and identify the relevant filing requirements.

Boston Spinal Cord Injury Claim FAQs

Possibly. Workers’ compensation benefits may be available after a work-related spinal cord injury, regardless of who caused the accident.
