Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
Florida law generally gives injury victims two years to file many negligence-based personal injury claims, including many spinal cord injury lawsuits. Wrongful death actions also generally fall within a two-year limitations period. Florida also applies comparative fault in negligence cases, which means a claimant’s recovery may be reduced by their assigned percentage of fault, and a party found greater than 50% at fault for their own harm may be barred from recovering damages in many negligence actions.
Common causes of spinal cord injuries
Spinal cord injuries can happen when a person suffers severe trauma, force, compression, or damage to the neck, back, or spine. In personal injury cases, these injuries are often caused by preventable negligence.
Common causes of spinal cord injuries include:
-
Car accidents: High-impact crashes can damage the neck, back, vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord.
-
Truck accidents: Commercial truck collisions can create devastating force and catastrophic spinal trauma.
-
Pedestrian accidents: A person struck by a vehicle may suffer direct impact to the spine or head.
-
Bicycle accidents: Cyclists can be thrown from the bike and suffer severe back, neck, or spinal injuries.
-
Slip and fall accidents: Falls on unsafe property can cause fractures, disc injuries, or spinal cord damage.
-
Trip and fall accidents: Uneven flooring, broken sidewalks, and unsafe walkways can lead to serious spinal trauma.
-
Medical negligence: Surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, or improper treatment may result in spinal cord harm.
-
Worksite or construction accidents: Falls, falling objects, or equipment incidents can cause life-altering spinal injuries.
-
Violent impacts: Any forceful trauma to the spine can result in permanent or long-term damage.
Because these cases can involve multiple liable parties, it is important to investigate quickly and preserve evidence before it disappears.
Evidence matters in a spinal cord injury claim
A spinal cord injury claim must clearly show how the accident happened, who was responsible, and how the injury changed your life. Insurance companies may try to argue that your condition was preexisting, that your treatment is excessive, or that the accident did not cause the full extent of your injuries. Strong evidence helps fight back against those tactics.
Important evidence may include:
-
Police reports
-
Incident reports
-
Photos and videos from the scene
-
Witness statements
-
Medical records
-
Diagnostic imaging
-
Surgical records
-
Rehabilitation plans
-
Doctor opinions
-
Employment records
-
Lost wage documentation
-
Expert testimony
-
Daily pain and limitation journals
