Plymouth Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious you can experience in an accident. If you have a spinal injury, you may suffer from significant pain, loss of strength in your limbs, or even paraplegia. After an accident that damages the spine, your life may never be the same again. If you suffered this type of injury in an accident that was not your fault, our Plymouth spinal cord injury lawyers are ready to help you file a personal injury lawsuit and seek a financial award.
You may have significant hardships after a spinal cord injury, leaving you with staggering medical bills and needing a renovation of your home to accommodate any medical equipment required to try to let you live on your own. You may need months of physical therapy to try to regain some strength and movement. Your personal injury award could help with all these costs, especially if you cannot work after suffering the injury to your spine. At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we understand how much you are counting on receiving a financial award in a situation like this, and we are ready to work tirelessly to try to secure the outcome that you want to see.
Steps Tyroler Leonard Injury Law Will Take During Your Injury Lawsuit
When Tyroler Leonard Injury Law represents you, we take several steps on your behalf. You can trust us not to cut corners when representing you.
Investigating the Accident
We conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, looking for facts that show the other party was at fault and behaved negligently. We need to show fault from another person or entity to have a defendant against whom to file the lawsuit. We also must show that the other party behaved negligently to be eligible to seek a financial award for you.
The insurance company will do its own investigation. It may conclude that you were at fault for the crash or that its client did not do anything wrong. However, because the insurance company has a financial incentive to try to avoid taking the blame for the accident, its conclusion may have bias. By doing our own investigation, we can find facts that show the insurer made an error with its investigation.
Understanding Your Medical Condition
We speak with your doctors to determine the full extent of your spinal injury and what kinds of hardships you may have down the road. The level of impairment your doctors expect you to have in future years plays a key role in determining what kind of financial award to seek from the insurance company.
While we put together evidence of your probable level of impairment, you should continue to see a doctor after the injury accident and follow the designed course of treatment. Do not skip doctor’s appointments or try to treat yourself. Such actions could give the insurance company the ability to argue that your injuries are not as serious as you’re claiming.
Speaking With the Insurer
When you hire us, we take over all correspondence with the insurance company for you, including negotiations about your financial award. This gives you more time to focus on trying to recover your health.
Insurance companies often will ask victims the same questions over and over, hoping that you will change your story slightly. They then can accuse you of lying about the accident, hoping to reduce your financial award. When our Plymouth, MN, spinal injury lawyers are representing you, you do not have to speak with the insurance company without our permission.
Determining a Value for Your Injuries
We will seek a financial award for you in a few different areas. Perhaps the largest area for an award after a spinal cord injury is calculating your pain and suffering because of the reduction in your quality of life. Your spinal injury could leave you with a lifetime of disability or even paralysis, meaning your pain and suffering award could be quite large.
