After a spinal cord injury or similar paralysis-causing harm, the timeline matters. Insurance companies may request statements early, and key proof can disappear quickly—especially with:
- Vehicle footage (dash cams, nearby traffic cameras, surveillance at local businesses)
- Worksite records (safety logs, training documentation, maintenance checklists)
- Incident reports (which may get revised or become harder to obtain later)
- Medical documentation (the first imaging, neurologic exam findings, and discharge summaries)
In practical terms: the sooner your lawyer helps organize and request the right records, the sooner the case can be evaluated for liability and the full range of damages.
