Spinal Cord Injuries
Catastrophic Injuries Demand Experienced Legal Representation
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. These injuries often result in permanent paralysis, loss of mobility, or loss of sensation—and require a lifetime of medical care and support. If your spinal cord injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
At Brooks Law Partners, we handle serious injury cases with the experience, strategy, and compassion they deserve. We advocate for spinal cord injury victims across Georgia and help secure the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal injuries are most often caused by traumatic events, including:
Motor vehicle
accidents (cars, motorcycles, trucks)
Falls
from unsafe premises or elevated heights
Violent acts
including gunshot wounds or assaults
Sports
or recreational accidents
Medical malpractice
during surgery or injections
Workplace accidents
involving falls, machinery, or unsafe conditions
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Complete SCIs:
Result in total loss of sensation and motor function below the injury site (paraplegia or quadriplegia).
Incomplete SCIs:
Some function or sensation remains below the affected area. Recovery may be possible but varies greatly.
In either case, victims often require:
- Emergency surgery
- Long-term physical therapy
- Assistive devices (wheelchairs, braces)
- Home modifications and personal care
- Mental health support for trauma and depression
Long-Term Effects and Financial Impact
The lifetime cost of a spinal cord injury can exceed $1 million to $5 million, depending on the severity and age at the time of injury. Victims may face:
- Permanent disability or paralysis
- Loss of independence and employment
- Ongoing pain and medical complications
- Emotional trauma and reduced quality of life
