A spinal cord injury can change how a person moves, feels and lives each day. When another person’s negligence causes that harm, New Mexico law may let the injured person seek compensation. This page explains how these claims work and how to start with a spinal cord injury attorney Albuquerque NM residents can reach.<\/p>\n

What a Spinal Cord Injury Claim Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

A spinal cord injury claim is a personal injury case. It asks the party whose negligence caused the injury to pay for the harm. Under Herrera v. Quality Pontiac<\/a>, a negligence claim generally needs a duty, a breach of that duty, usually measured by reasonable care, and a link between the breach and the harm.<\/p>\n

The spinal cord carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. MedlinePlus<\/a> describes spinal cord damage as a cause of paralysis and of lost feeling or function below the injury. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation<\/a> explains that injuries are described by level and as complete or incomplete. Those labels shape the medical picture and the long-term needs.<\/p>\n

A claim is civil, not criminal. It seeks money damages from the responsible party. This page is written for injured adults and for family members after a serious injury or death.<\/p>\n\n
