A spinal injury often has long-lasting, life-altering effects. If you have suffered a spinal injury because of someone else’s wrongful actions, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the responsible party. Because spinal injuries are often severe and require long-term medical treatment and monitoring, spinal injuries can be financially draining for the victim and their family.
If your injuries were the result of a third party’s misconduct, there is no reason why you should bear the financial cost of your injuries alone. The legally responsible parties should be held accountable for the result of their negligence.

Common Causes of Spinal Injuries
Spinal injuries can result from many different types of accidents. Most commonly, spinal injuries can result from:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Sports accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Premises liability accidents
- Medical malpractice
- And more
Whatever the circumstances resulting in your spinal injury, a successful claim will depend on proving the legal cause of your injury. An experienced Tulsa spinal cord injury lawyer will investigate your case and identify all the parties legally responsible for your injury so that they can be held accountable.
What Steps Should I Take After Sustaining a Spinal Cord Injury?
After sustaining a spinal cord injury, getting medical care and supporting your recovery should be your objective. In each situation, it is essential that you prevent further injury. That means not moving until medical care arrives. Any type of unnecessary movement is not beneficial and should be minimized. You will likely need to go to the emergency room.
Once you receive care and are stable, you can think about what happened during the accident and write down or record a statement of what you remember. The details will matter here. Any information you have can be used to verify the cause and those at fault.
You will most often need immediate medical care, engage in physical therapy, work with psychological support teams, and meet any ongoing care needs. That may include the use of adaptive equipment and making changes to your home. Document every big change and all details of what occurs.
Unlike other types of accidents in which it may be possible for victims to take photos and capture witness statements at the scene, spinal cord damage is very severe and limiting. If for any reason you believe you have spinal cord damage, do not take the risk of moving. Call 911, wait, and let your Tulsa spinal cord injury attorney handle the rest.
Damages in Spinal Injury Cases
The effects of spinal injuries can range from chronic pain to limited mobility or paralysis. These can lead to lifelong consequences such as the victim’s inability to work or live independently. The damages available in a spinal injury case will depend on the particular circumstances of the case. The severity of the injury is a critical factor in determining the types of damages and the value of the recoverable damages.
The recoverable damages in a spinal injury case include:
- Past and future lost wages
- Cost of past and future medical care and rehabilitation services
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Mental anguish
How to Prove Fault in a Spinal Cord Case
If you are in an accident someone else caused, they may owe you compensation for your losses. The burden of proof is on you. To seek compensation, you must demonstrate negligence through four steps:
- They owed you a duty of care.
- They breached that duty of care.
- The breach is what caused the accident to happen.
- The accident caused physical, emotional, and financial losses.
In a spinal cord case, evidence of what caused the accident will be a starting point. Your Tulsa spinal injury attorney will gather evidence, such as witness statements, videos, or dashcam information about the accident, medical reports, and expert testimony. They will use this to piece together what took place, how it happened, and why it occurred.
From there, it will be necessary to show that the actions or inactions of the at-fault party caused your accident to take place, and the result of that accident was spinal cord damage. The spinal cord damage losses are also documented to demonstrate the impact this accident has on your life.
How Long Do I Have to File a Spinal Injury Claim in Oklahoma?
Victims of a personal injury case can file a claim for compensation for the losses they have to the at-fault party’s liability insurance. However, in some cases where the insurance company is not willing to settle in a fair manner, it becomes necessary to file a lawsuit against them.
In Oklahoma, victims have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in a court of law. This is the law under Oklahoma Statute §12-95. Victims who fail to take legal action by that date are unable to seek fair compensation under the law. The court will not be able to hear your case. For that reason, it is imperative that you work with a Tulsa spinal cord injury lawyer sooner.
