What Is a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)?
A spinal cord injury or SCI is any damage to the spinal cord that results in loss of function, sensation, or mobility. The severity of an SCI depends on two primary factors:
- The area of the spine affected: The higher the injury is on the spine, the more severe it is. This is because each section of the spine controls different functions and sensations in the body.
- The completeness of the injury: A complete SCI means there is a total loss of function and sensation below the level of the injury. An incomplete SCI means that some functions and sensations are still intact but may be impaired.
What Causes Spinal Cord Injuries?
SCIs can occur due to a variety of factors.Common accidents leading to spinal cord injuries include:
- Car crashes
- Sports injuries
- Truck accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Slip-and-fall accidents

Seeking Compensation for Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spine can result in life-altering consequences, including permanent loss of mobility, career loss, and chronic pain. Securing experienced representation is a must to ensure you’re compensated fairly and fully. Depending on the claim, various damages may be recoverable in an SCI lawsuit.Common economic damages include:
- Lost wages
- Hospital bills
- Loss of earning capacity
- Prescription medication costs
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Ongoing and future medical treatment
Common non-economic damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
In rare cases, the court may also award punitive damages to punish the defendant for extreme negligence and deter similar behavior in the future.

Everyone we worked with was amazing. They were so patient and explained everything in detail. They worked with my mom and then when she passed away the game plan changed and they made sure to explain everything. We were blessed to have them on our team. I would highly recommend them.

"Nick was very open and transparent."
Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me. Nick was very open and transparent, and shared some of our frustrations. We were very please with him representing us. Thanks again Nick.
