Paraplegic or quadriplegic injuries are often sustained in motor vehicle accidents when a vehicle occupant is ejected from the vehicle, often in a rollover. While you do not need to be ejected from the vehicle to sustain a spinal cord injury, the insurance company may argue that your failure to wear a seat belt caused or contributed to your spinal cord injury. If the insurer’s argument is proven, it reduces the amount of compensation that you can get from the insurance company. An experienced spinal cord injury lawyer will hire a biomechanical engineer to investigate the accident. The biomechanical engineer can assist in proving that quadriplegia or paraplegia may have resulted anyway, or that more serious injury or death would likely have occurred if your seat belt was worn.

In Alberta, with very few exceptions, you have two years from the date when the accident occurred to file a spinal cord injury claim. One exception is if you are a minor. Then the limitation period is two years after the minor reached adult age (18 in Alberta).

In Alberta, spinal cord injuries most often happen due to vehicle crashes, falls, sports incidents, or violence. Joseph A. Nagy Injury Law deals exclusively with injury claims arising from motor vehicle accidents in central and northern Alberta. Each lawyer has more than 20 years of experience handling spinal cord injury claims. Call for a no obligation, free consultation.

A spinal cord injury is defined as damage to the spinal cord (the nerve fibers that transmit messages between your brain and the rest of your body). A spinal cord injury may result in temporary or permanent loss of function and feeling below the location of the injury.

When a disk or vertebrae is damaged, a procedure called a spinal fusion can sometimes prevent further damage or pressure on the spinal cord. A piece of bone, often from the patient’s pelvis, is removed. The disk is then removed, and the bone segment is placed between the vertebrae. Rods and screws are often used to strengthen the join and prevent the affected vertebrae from too much movement.
