Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

 View Our Landmark Spinal Cord Injury Cases 

A spinal cord injury is a catastrophic injury in the truest sense. Like the brain, the spinal cord can’t grow back the way other body tissues can. And like the brain, the spinal cord controls essential, basic functions that may be gone forever after an injury. Victims are left with permanent, lifelong disabilities that range from toe and foot movement problems to complete paralysis from the neck down (quadriplegia). It’s no exaggeration to call that loss devastating, physically and emotionally, for victims and their families.

Because spinal cord injuries are expensive to treat and sometimes rob the victim of a career, they can also be a great financial burden. Victims will need intensive short-term medical care, and most will need physical therapy and ongoing treatment from a spinal care specialist. Very seriously injured victims may need multiple surgeries, long-term therapy or even around-the-clock care. Even families with good medical insurance may not be able to afford the best possible treatments. If the accident was caused by someone else’s careless or malicious behavior, victims have the right to sue to hold that person or organization responsible for the results.
