You’ve Suffered a Life-Changing Spinal Cord Injury

Now you’re dealing with questions that keep you up at night: How will you pay mounting medical bills? When—or if—you’ll return to work? Whether you’ll ever regain the independence you once had? You’re not just fighting physical pain and paralysis. You’re battling fear, frustration, and the crushing weight of wondering: “What happens to me and my family now?”
Our Atlanta spinal cord injury lawyers understand the devastating impact of spinal trauma. Whether you’re facing quadriplegia, paraplegia, or incomplete spinal cord damage, our personal injury attorneys have the experience to secure maximum compensation for your injuries.
Understanding Your Symptoms
Spinal cord injuries affect everyone differently, but you may be experiencing some of these life-altering symptoms of spinal trauma:
- Loss of movement or sensation – Unable to move or feel parts of your body below the injury site
- Difficulty breathing – Struggling to take a full breath or needing ventilator assistance
- Loss of bladder or bowel control – Embarrassing complications that strip away your dignity and independence
- Numbness or tingling – Strange sensations, pins and needles, or complete loss of feeling
- Extreme pain or pressure – Ongoing nerve pain, discomfort that makes everything harder
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance – Simple movements now feel impossible, loss of motor function
- Paralysis – Partial or complete inability to move limbs or body parts
- Muscle weakness or spasticity – Loss of strength, involuntary muscle contractions
You didn’t ask for this catastrophic injury. You don’t deserve to face it alone. Our spinal cord injury attorneys in Atlanta are here to fight for the compensation you need.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries Our Lawyers Handle
The severity and location of your spinal injury determines your symptoms, prognosis, and the compensation you deserve. Our Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys handle all types of spinal trauma cases.
Complete vs. Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries:
Complete Spinal Cord Injury means total loss of sensation and motor function below the injury site with permanent paralysis. No nerve signals can pass through the damaged spinal cord, requiring lifetime medical care and resulting in higher settlement values. Our spinal cord injury lawyers fight for maximum compensation in complete paralysis cases.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury means some sensation or movement remains below the injury level with varying degrees of neurological function. There’s potential for some recovery with intensive rehabilitation and physical therapy, but victims still qualify for substantial compensation. Our personal injury attorneys maximize recovery even in incomplete injury cases.
Spinal Injury Levels and Their Impact:
Cervical (Neck) Spinal Cord Injuries
Thoracic (Mid-Back) Spinal Cord Injuries
Lumbar (Lower Back) Spinal Injuries
Sacral Spinal Cord Injuries
Our Atlanta spinal cord injury lawyers work with medical experts to properly document your injury level and maximize your personal injury claim.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries Our Atlanta Attorneys Handle
Can you file a personal injury lawsuit for your spinal cord injury? Generally, yes—if someone else’s negligence caused your spinal trauma. Our Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys have successfully represented catastrophic injury victims in:
Motor Vehicle Accident Cases
Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle collisions are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries in Atlanta, accounting for nearly 40% of all spinal trauma cases.
Our spinal cord injury lawyers have recovered over $15 million for Atlanta clients injured in vehicle accidents, including $4.5 million for a client who underwent neck surgery after being hit by a drunk driver. If a negligent driver caused your spinal injury, our personal injury attorneys will hold them accountable.
Slip and Fall Accident Claims
Property owners have a legal duty under Georgia premises liability law to maintain safe conditions. Our premises liability lawyers prove negligence and maximize compensation for fall victims with spinal injuries.
Workplace Accident Injury Cases
Construction sites, warehouses, and industrial facilities in Atlanta pose serious risks for catastrophic spinal injuries. Our workers’ compensation attorneys and third-party liability lawyers maximize recovery for workplace spinal injuries.
Sports and Recreational Injury Claims
While some sports injuries are unavoidable, others result from negligence that our Atlanta lawyers can pursue. Our personal injury attorneys hold negligent parties accountable for preventable sports-related spinal cord injuries.
Acts of Violence and Negligent Security Cases
Victims of shootings, stabbings, or assaults resulting in spinal cord injuries may have premises liability claims. Our Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys have secured $817,000 for a client shot twice during a robbery at an apartment complex with negligent security.
The Devastating Cost of a Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that transmits messages between the brain and body, controlling motor function, sensation, and organ systems. Unlike other tissues, the spinal cord isn’t capable of repairing itself once catastrophic damage occurs.
Our spinal cord injury lawyers in Atlanta understand the true lifetime costs of paralysis and spinal trauma. We fight for full compensation to cover:
Immediate Medical Expenses
The financial impact of a catastrophic spinal injury hits immediately:
- Emergency room and hospitalization: Averaging $140,000+ for initial trauma care and stabilization
- Rehabilitation costs: $30,000 to $100,000 or more for intensive physical therapy and occupational therapy
- Surgery and medical procedures: Often multiple spinal surgeries required for stabilization and decompression
- ICU and specialized neurological care: Extended stays in intensive care units with neurosurgeons and specialists
- Medical equipment: Wheelchairs, hospital beds, breathing assistance devices, adaptive technology
- Ambulance and emergency transport: Life-flight or ground ambulance to trauma centers
Our personal injury attorneys work with medical billing experts to document every dollar of your immediate medical expenses.
Long-Term Medical Care Costs
The expenses for spinal cord injury victims continue for a lifetime:
- Lifetime medical costs: Potentially exceeding $5 million for complete paralysis cases
- Home modifications: Ramps, widened doorways, accessible bathrooms, roll-in showers ($50,000-$200,000)
- Assistive devices: Power wheelchairs, specialized vehicles with adaptive controls, mobility aids
- Personal care services: 24/7 assistance with daily activities, nursing care, attendant care
- Ongoing physical therapy: Continued rehabilitation, occupational therapy, pain management
- Medications: Pain management drugs, anti-spasticity medications, treatment of secondary complications
- Preventive care: Pressure sore treatment, urinary tract infection prevention, respiratory therapy
- Psychological counseling: Mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD
Our Atlanta spinal cord injury lawyers work with life care planners to calculate your true lifetime medical needs and maximize your personal injury settlement.
The Emotional and Financial Toll
You’re facing more than physical challenges after a catastrophic spinal injury. The internal problems are just as devastating:
- Fear about your future and financial security with permanent disability
- Anxiety about being a burden to your family and caregivers
- Loss of independence and identity – you’re not who you used to be
- Depression from losing activities you once enjoyed, social isolation
- Uncertainty about navigating complex legal and insurance systems without an attorney
- Lost income and earning capacity – bills don’t stop when paychecks do
- Marital strain and relationship difficulties due to injury impact
- Loss of quality of life and enjoyment of normal activities
It’s simply not fair. Someone else’s negligence or recklessness destroyed your life through a preventable accident, and you shouldn’t have to bear the financial and emotional burden alone. You deserve justice and the resources to rebuild your life. That’s why our Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys fight aggressively for maximum compensation in every catastrophic injury case.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit?
If you’ve suffered a spinal cord injury caused by someone else’s negligence, you’re entitled to pursue full compensation under Georgia personal injury law. Our attorneys fight to recover all damages available, including:
Medical Expenses and Treatment Costs
Past and Future Medical Costs Our Lawyers Recover:
- Emergency room and trauma center hospitalization expenses
- Spinal surgery and neurosurgical procedures (fusion, decompression, stabilization)
- Intensive care unit (ICU) and specialized neurological care
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy for paralysis treatment
- Occupational therapy to relearn daily activities
- Medications and pain management treatment
- Medical equipment (power wheelchairs, hospital beds, adaptive devices)
- In-home nursing care and attendant care services
- Future medical treatment for your lifetime (life care plan costs)
- Secondary complication treatment (pressure sores, infections, respiratory issues)
- Mental health counseling and psychiatric treatment
Our spinal cord injury attorneys work with life care planners and medical billing experts to calculate the true cost of your care over your entire lifetime—not just what insurance companies want to pay in settlement.
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
Income Loss Our Lawyers Pursue:
- Wages lost while hospitalized and recovering from spinal injury
- Lost salary and employment benefits during rehabilitation
- Future earning capacity if you can’t return to your previous job due to paralysis or disability
- Loss of promotion opportunities and career advancement due to spinal cord injury
- Reduced earning potential in any new career accommodating your disability
- Loss of retirement benefits and pension contributions
- Self-employment income loss for business owners
A catastrophic spinal cord injury may limit your ability to work temporarily or permanently. Our personal injury lawyers ensure you’re compensated for every dollar you would have earned over your lifetime.
Pain and Suffering Damages
Physical Pain and Suffering:
- Pain and discomfort from spinal surgery and medical procedures
- Ongoing nerve pain from spinal cord damage or chronic neuropathic conditions
- Phantom pain below the level of spinal injury
- Limitations on mobility and physical activity due to paralysis
- Daily discomfort and reduced quality of life with disability
- Spasticity and involuntary muscle contractions
Emotional Pain and Mental Suffering:
- Depression and anxiety from catastrophic injury and life changes
- Loss of self-esteem and dignity with paralysis
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the traumatic accident
- Loss of enjoyment of life and normal activities
- Psychological effects of permanent disability and dependence on others
- Social isolation and relationship difficulties
- Fear and uncertainty about future with spinal cord injury
Compensation for pain and suffering in spinal cord injury cases is calculated based on severity, duration, type of injury, your age and overall health, and the overall impact on your life. Our attorneys maximize these non-economic damages.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
This includes the loss of ability to participate in activities you enjoyed before the spinal injury:
- Hobbies and recreational activities you can no longer do due to paralysis
- Sports and physical activities now impossible with disability
- Social activities and gatherings limited by mobility restrictions
- Travel and adventure curtailed by spinal cord injury
- Playing with your children or grandchildren affected by paralysis
- Sexual intimacy and relationships impacted by spinal damage
- Independence and autonomy lost due to disability
Loss of Consortium Claims
This compensates family members for:
- Loss of companionship and support from a spouse or partner with spinal cord injury
- Loss of sexual intimacy and the inability to engage in sexual activity due to paralysis
- Impact on marital relationship and family dynamics
- Burden on family caregivers providing daily assistance
- Loss of parental guidance and companionship for children
It’s common for a spinal cord injury to impact sexual function and intimate relationships. Our lawyers ensure this damage is compensated under Georgia law.
Home Modifications and Assistive Devices
If you require modifications to your home or assistive devices due to paralysis, these expenses are fully recoverable:
- Wheelchair ramps and accessible entrances for mobility
- Widened doorways and hallways throughout home
- Accessible bathrooms with roll-in showers and grab bars
- Stairlifts or residential elevators for multi-story homes
- Specialized vehicles with adaptive hand controls and wheelchair lifts
- Smart home technology for independence with disability
- Hospital beds and specialized medical furniture
- Kitchen and bathroom modifications for wheelchair access
- Flooring changes to accommodate mobility devices
Punitive Damages in Egregious Cases
In cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious or reckless under Georgia law—such as drunk driving, extreme negligence, or willful misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded in addition to compensatory damages.
These damages:
- Punish the responsible party for outrageous conduct
- Deter similar negligent behavior in the future
- Send a message that such conduct causing spinal cord injuries is unacceptable
- Provide additional compensation beyond economic and non-economic damages
Our spinal cord injury lawyers aggressively pursue punitive damages when appropriate under Georgia law.
What’s at Stake If You Wait to Hire a Lawyer
Every day you delay hiring a spinal cord injury attorney could cost you hundreds of thousands—or even millions—in compensation you’ll never recover. Here’s what happens when you wait:
Georgia’s 2-Year Statute of Limitations
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, Georgia personal injury law gives you only 2 years from the date of your spinal cord injury to file a lawsuit. Miss this legal deadline, and you lose your right to compensation forever.
There are very few exceptions to this statute of limitations rule under Georgia law. Once the deadline passes, your spinal cord injury case is dead—no matter how strong it was or how much compensation you deserved. Don’t wait to consult with a personal injury attorney.
Evidence Disappears Over Time
Every day you wait to hire an attorney, your spinal injury case gets weaker:
- Witnesses’ memories fade
- Critical evidence is lost or destroyed
- Insurance companies build stronger defenses
- Your claim becomes harder to prove
- Medical records become harder to obtain
- Defendant may hide assets
Our lawyers have seen cases lost because victims waited too long to hire an attorney and critical evidence vanished. Don’t let this happen to your spinal cord injury case.
Insurance Companies Are Already Working Against You
Right now, even before you call a lawyer, insurance adjusters are looking for ways to minimize or deny your spinal cord injury claim.
Without legal representation from an experienced attorney, you risk:
- Accepting a lowball settlement offer that covers a fraction of your true costs (insurance companies often offer 20-30% of what your spinal injury case is actually worth without a lawyer)
- Saying something that damages your legal case – Adjusters ask questions designed to get you to hurt your own claim before you hire an attorney
- Missing compensation you’re entitled to – Most spinal cord injury victims don’t know about all the damages they can recover under Georgia law without consulting a lawyer
- Being overwhelmed and giving up – Insurance companies count on you getting frustrated and accepting whatever they offer without hiring an attorney
- Signing away your legal rights – Releasing claims before understanding full extent of spinal cord injury
Once you accept a settlement without a lawyer, it’s over. You can never go back for more compensation, even when you discover your spinal injuries are worse than you thought or your medical bills are higher than expected. Consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
Going It Alone Without a Lawyer Is Dangerous
Spinal cord injury cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. Without expert legal help from experienced attorneys, you’re likely to:
- Underestimate the lifetime value of your claim by millions – You don’t know what decades of paralysis care will cost without a lawyer and life care planner
- Fail to include all compensable damages – There are categories of compensation under Georgia law most people don’t know exist without attorney guidance
- Make procedural legal mistakes that destroy your case – One missed deadline or filing error can end your spinal cord injury case permanently
- Face aggressive insurance defense attorneys alone – Insurance companies hire teams of experienced lawyers to fight you. Going alone without your own attorney is like bringing a knife to a gunfight
- Get taken advantage of in settlement negotiations – Without a lawyer, you have no leverage against insurance adjusters
Studies show that personal injury victims with attorneys recover 3-5 times more than those without legal representation—even after attorney fees are deducted from settlements.
Imagine Your Life After Our Lawyers Win Your Case

- Resources for the best ongoing care and rehabilitation – Access to top neurosurgeons, specialists and cutting-edge spinal cord injury treatments

- Trust or structured settlement ensuring long-term financial security managed properly

The crushing weight you’ve been carrying since your spinal cord injury will finally lift.
Justice Served
After our lawyers hold the negligent party accountable, you’ll have:
- Held the responsible party legally accountable for destroying your life through their negligence
- Sent a message that negligence causing spinal cord injuries has serious consequences – Making it less likely they’ll hurt someone else
- Reclaimed your dignity and power in a situation where you felt helpless after paralysis
- Closed this legal chapter and moved forward with confidence
- Protected others by ensuring dangerous parties face real legal consequences under Georgia law
- Vindication – Proving your spinal cord injury case and the defendant’s liability
Many of our spinal cord injury clients tell us that winning their legal case gave them something money can’t buy: the emotional closure of knowing they fought back with good attorneys and won.
A Clear Path Forward
With the settlement our lawyers secure for your spinal cord injury, you can:
- Access the best medical care and therapies – No more settling for “good enough” paralysis treatment because of cost
- Adapt your home for maximum independence – Living life on your terms with proper accommodations for disability, not limited by your environment
- Provide for your family’s needs – College funds, retirement, and daily expenses covered despite your spinal injury
- Rebuild a meaningful life on your own terms – Finding new purpose and activities you can enjoy despite paralysis
- Focus on what matters most – Relationships, personal growth, and making the most of every day
- Hire quality caregivers – Ensuring proper assistance and medical care at home
Your life will never be the same as it was before the catastrophic spinal cord injury. But with the compensation our attorneys fight for, you can build a new life with dignity, security, and hope despite paralysis.
Frequently Asked Questions About Atlanta Spinal Cord Injury Cases
What if I was partially at fault for my spinal cord injury accident?
Georgia follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule under state law. You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault for the accident that caused your spinal cord injury. However, your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If your spinal cord injury case is worth $1 million and you’re found 20% at fault by a jury, you’d receive $800,000 in compensation.
Insurance companies and their lawyers will try to blame you for your spinal injury to reduce their payout. That’s why you need an experienced Atlanta spinal cord injury attorney who knows how to counter these tactics and minimize your comparative fault under Georgia law.
Can I still file a spinal cord injury claim if the accident happened months ago?
Yes, as long as it’s been less than 2 years under Georgia law. Georgia’s statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) gives you 2 years from the date of your spinal injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.
However, the sooner you call a spinal cord injury lawyer, the better
Even if months have passed since your spinal cord injury, call our Atlanta attorneys today at 770-HELP-NOW. We can assess whether you still have a viable legal case and act quickly to preserve remaining evidence. Don’t let the statute of limitations expire and destroy your right to compensation.
What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance or enough coverage?
You still have legal options even with an uninsured defendant:
- Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage – If the spinal cord injury occurred in a car accident in Georgia, your own auto insurance policy may cover you up to policy limits
- Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage – If their insurance isn’t enough to cover your spinal injury damages, your UIM coverage fills the gap
- Personal assets of the defendant – Our lawyers can pursue their personal property, real estate, and financial assets through legal action
- Third-party liability – Employers, property owners, vehicle owners, or other parties may share legal responsibility for your spinal cord injury
- Other insurance policies – Umbrella policies, business liability insurance, homeowners insurance may provide additional coverage
- Government claims – If a government entity caused your spinal injury through negligence
Our Atlanta spinal cord injury attorneys investigate ALL potential sources of compensation. Many clients don’t realize they have insurance coverage that applies to their spinal injury case. We analyze all available policies and defendants to maximize your recovery under Georgia law.
