What is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury is a serious type of catastrophic injury that involves damage to the spinal cord. It often leads to significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges for the victim. These injuries vary in severity, affecting motor and sensory function to different degrees based on the location and extent of the injury. Typically, spinal cord injuries impact a person’s central nervous system, and any trauma to this area can drastically reduce mobility, independence, and quality of life. The effects range from loss of movement and sensation to significant lifestyle changes that often require lifelong medical care and financial support.

Types of Spinal Cord Injurys
At Novian & Novian, our spinal cord injury attorneys are dedicated to representing clients in various spinal cord injury cases.
Spinal cord injuries are classified by the affected spine region, each with unique impacts. Cervical injuries (C1-C7) are the most severe, often causing quadriplegia and requiring breathing support. Thoracic injuries (T1-T12) can lead to paraplegia, affecting lower body mobility. Lumbar injuries (L1-L5) may cause paraplegia with preserved arm function but often require mobility aids. Sacral injuries, at the spine’s base, rarely result in full paralysis but can affect hip movement and bladder control.
These injuries are further divided into complete, with total loss of function below the site, or incomplete, where partial movement or sensation remains, offering some recovery potential.
Spinal Cord Injury Cases We Handle
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries, with car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents often resulting in severe trauma. Whether a car accident results from another driver’s negligence or a truck accident involves liability issues with the driver’s employer, these incidents can cause lasting spinal cord damage and impact a person’s quality of life.
Workplace Accident Injury
Another type of Spinal cord injury we have is Workplace Accidents.
When spinal cord injuries occur at work, you may be eligible for a workers’ compensation claim that covers medical expenses and lost wages. If negligence by an employer or third party contributed to your injury, we can also explore additional legal options for compensation.
Slip and Fall Accidents
We also cover slip and fall injury accidents.
These cases fall under premises liability, where property owners are responsible for maintaining a safe environment. If hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, poor lighting, or broken steps, led to your injury, you may have grounds to seek compensation.
Other Personal Injury Accidents
Other types of catastrophic injury cases we cover that could lead to spinal cord injuries include medical malpractice, acts of violence, and product liability. We also help clients injured due to negligence by sports facilities, equipment manufacturers, or other participants, ensuring they receive appropriate compensation for the medical care and ongoing support they need.
What Compensation Can You Expect in Spinal Cord Injury Cases?
Spinal cord injuries can create substantial financial, physical, and emotional burdens. At Novian & Novian, we help spinal cord injury victims seek comprehensive compensation to address all aspects of their injuries. This may include medical expenses, covering current and future medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation costs, and specialized medical equipment like wheelchairs and mobility aids. Compensation helps cover these medical expenses to ensure access to necessary medical care.
Likewise, compensation covers out-of-pocket costs. This includes expenses such as transportation to medical treatment, home modifications, and personal care services not covered by insurance. You can also expect your compensation to cover lost wages and loss of earning capacity. For many spinal cord injury clients that we get, the ability to work is often diminished or lost entirely. You may be eligible for compensation for lost wages if you are temporarily or permanently unable to work, as well as for loss of earning capacity if the injury limits your future earning potential.
In addition, the compensation covers pain and suffering, as spinal cord injuries bring considerable emotional distress and physical suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering acknowledges the lasting emotional and physical impact on the victim’s quality of life.
Similarly, it covers the loss of companionship. This refers to the loss of affection, comfort, and support suffered by the spouse of someone who has been seriously injured. For example, if a person sustains a spinal cord injury that causes partial or full paralysis, it may prevent them from participating in activities with their spouse, engaging in family routines, or contributing as they did before the injury. If your injury has affected your relationships, you may be able to seek compensation for loss of consortium. This considers how the spinal injury has impacted your family dynamics, emotional connections, and overall quality of life.
It is also important to note that in cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be awarded. These damages aim to hold negligent parties accountable and deter similar behavior in the future.
Our team understands the unique challenges of spinal cord injury cases and is committed to providing you with compassionate and skilled representation. With over 30 years of experience and a deep knowledge of spinal cord injury law, our attorneys will fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the fair compensation you deserve.
