If a spinal cord injury is caused by someone else’s carelessness, recklessness or intent to harm, the injured victim will have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado in pursuit of financial compensation. Common examples of preventable accidents that can cause spinal cord injuries include:
Falls
Motor vehicle accidents
Truck or bus accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
Diving or sports accidents
Acts of violence (gunshot wounds or stabbings)
If you or a loved one suffered a back or spine injury in any of these types of accidents, one or more parties may be financially responsible for related short-term and long-term losses.
