WHAT IS A SPINAL INJURY?

A spinal injury is damage caused to the spinal cord of an individual, resulting in loss of function or mobility. Spinal injury can be caused by an accident or by disease. Consulting with a legal team about what rights an injured person may be entitled to can help alleviate financial burdens like medical costs, treatment costs, in-or-out-patient care, loss of wages, or pain and suffering.

Spinal injury law falls under The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act of 1997. An amended act stemming from a cornerstone Canadian Tort Law was brought into legislation in 1860. The law helps protect Canadians from financial anguish after they have suffered a serious spinal injury.

Spinal injury law is a mandatory clause and is required by all registered Canadian businesses. The clause allows business owners to protect their assets from the risk of loss caused by spinal injuries. This allows even liability by default to be handled by the insurance company instead of out of the business’s finances.

A spinal injury can have serious detrimental complications on your quality of life. It may severely impact your ability to earn wages, and pay for any treatments or medications that are required. Reaching out and taking advantage of our free consultation at Zayouna Law Firm can help you put your life back in order.

Why is a spinal injury law important?

Spinal injury law is legally in place so that you can develop a resolution with a liable party for damages you suffered as a direct result of the spinal injury. Your rights dictate that you can file a legal claim against an insurance company or a negligent party. As the claimant, you can also apply for permanent long-term disability if the circumstance warrants it once liability has been determined.

Having legal representation can help ensure your matter is dealt with promptly and fairly. As there are limitations in place: correctly filing and presenting your case takes skill and dedication to help you collect monetary compensation for any losses you have incurred.

Consulting with a Zayouna Law Firm lawyer will help ensure your claim details are presented legally on your behalf.

Who uses a spinal injury lawyer?

If a negligent party has caused you a spinal injury, you may be entitled to a monetary settlement. The medical diagnosis of spinal injuries will always be classified as severe and will require the help of a medical professional.

Cause for spinal injury Claims

Spinal injuries divide sharply into two groups, and the difference decides everything about the claim: injuries that heal with treatment, and injuries that permanently change what your body can do.

Cord injury and permanent loss

Where the spinal cord is damaged, the consequences are usually permanent and the claim becomes an exercise in costing a lifetime: attendant care, accessible housing and vehicle modification, equipment replacement cycles, and lost earning capacity. These are the claims where getting the future care assessment right matters more than anything else, because that assessment is the claim. Settling before the long term picture is clear is the main avoidable mistake.

Disc and soft tissue injury

Herniated discs, nerve root compression and chronic back pain are the more common presentation and the more contested one. There is often no dramatic image to point at, symptoms fluctuate, and insurers argue degeneration rather than trauma. Consistent treatment records, and evidence of what work and daily activity you have had to give up, are what carry these claims.

Imaging and treatment records come first, then the assessment of what the injury will cost across a working life and beyond it.

FAQS

Common Questions About spinal injury Claims

Is there a maximum amount I can receive for settling on my spinal injury claim?

There is no set maximum amount of financial coverage an injured person can receive. There have been cases where millions have been awarded to a claimant. The specifics of your particular case or any withstanding agreements you may have with an insurance company will be introduced for consideration within the negotiation process.

Yes, in Canada, it is required that a potential claimant must file their claim within 2-years of the accident that led to the spinal injury. The claimant is NOT required to settle their claim within that time frame. Although, some insurance companies have implemented clauses to force a claimant to settle promptly. Having a legal representative will help you bring the best claim presentation to the negotiation table.

Chances are very high that a spinal injury will require care in the interim. Our skillful lawyers at Zayouna Law Firm will debate your claim with the liable party, or insurance company. You will need care from the moment your spinal injury happens to possibly after you settle your claim. Your representative may seek partial payouts to help with your treatment and financial burdens while the settlement numbers are being negotiated to present you with a final fair resolution.
