South Carolina Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

With spinal cord injury cases there are times when children may have a valid cause of action when a parent sustains an injury, or vice-versa, whether the parent may maintain a cause of action where the child sustains the injury. Whichever way, counsel should research applicable law to determine either of these instances.

Bystander theories of negligent infliction of emotional distress should be pursued whenever the facts of a given case provide such a remedy. Some courts have imposed tough guidelines as to who can recover for negligent infliction of emotional distress. And in some cases some courts require a series of qualifications to be satisfied before a plaintiff can state a cause of action for “bystander” negligent infliction of emotional distress.

How closely related the plaintiff is to the victim, their presence regarding the cause of the spinal cord injury, and their suffering as a result of these instances can be taken into account.  Where a family member observed the injury-causing event (where required), an action for negligent infliction of emotional distress should be brought on behalf of the family member or bystander.

These are all factors that need to be considered in a lawsuit.  The Strom Law Firm has extensive experience in personal injury lawsuits.  We will do the best we can to make sure you secure the compensation you deserve.

The truth is Spinal cord injuries  can be devastating. This abrupt physical change can have devastating effects on the victim and often times, without proper intervention, a victim can lose the desire to exist and therefore psychiatric intervention is imperative.

The Strom Law Firm will work with appropriate experts and treatment teams in order to address each of the issues relevant a particular case: psychiatrists, neurologists, orthopedics, psychologists, neuropsychologists, speech, occupational and physical therapists, and many others.
