Who can be liable for an injury that results in paraplegia?

Liability depends on how the injury occurred. Potentially responsible parties may include:

• Negligent drivers
• Commercial transportation companies
• Property owners
• Employers or contractors
• Product manufacturers
• Equipment maintenance companies
• Healthcare providers
• Government entities
• Third-party security providers

Some cases involve more than one liable party. For example, a crash may involve a negligent driver, an employer, a vehicle maintenance company, or a defective part. A workplace injury may involve contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners, in addition to workers’ compensation issues.
