Houston Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Our spinal cord houses the pathways that our brain uses to communicate with the rest of our body. When the spinal column sustains damage, those pathways can be severed. Spinal cord injuries can result in permanent nerve damage and paralysis. Within seconds, a person’s life can change forever. A spinal cord victim may never regain the ability to care for himself or others. A spinal cord victim may never work again after an accident.

The pain and suffering caused by spinal cord injuries are beyond our ability to understand until it happens to us or someone we love. Sadly, many spinal cord injuries are caused by preventable accidents. A careless or negligent party causes an accident that changes another person’s entire world.

The Houston spinal cord injury attorneys of The Alfred Firm help victims and their families seek justice from the parties who caused the accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. Victims may be entitled to significant compensation for their injuries, losses, and damages.

We are here for you in your time of need. Call The Alfred Firm today by calling (713) 489-1875 for a free consultation with an experienced Houston spinal cord injury lawyer.

It does not cost you anything to talk to an attorney about your spinal cord injury. If you decide to retain our law firm, we do not charge upfront attorneys’ fees. Cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. Our attorneys’ fees are only paid if we recover money for your claim.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Houston

Many of the causes of spinal cord injuries each year are avoidable accidents. Some accidents or incidents may involve negligence or gross negligence, while other accidents are caused by carelessness. Regardless of why the accident occurred, the party responsible for causing the accident can be held liable for damages related to a spinal cord injury.

Causes of spinal cord injuries in Houston include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare accidents
Premises Liability Claims (slip and fall accidents)
Refinery Accidents
Industrial Accidents and Explosions
Construction Accidents
Railroad Accidents
Maritime Accidents
Sports and Recreational Accidents
Intentional Acts of Violence

Proving that the accident caused the spinal cord injury is crucial for a personal injury claim. If you cannot prove that another party caused the accident and that the accident caused the spinal cord injury, you cannot receive compensation for your injuries. The Houston spinal cord injuries at The Alfred Firm can help with that.

What Damages Can I Claim for a Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord injuries may be complete or incomplete. Complete spinal cord injuries result in the loss of all motor functions and sensory input below the spinal cord injury. Incomplete spinal cord injury results in some loss of function and sensory input.

The higher the injury site on the spinal column, the greater the loss of function. Paraplegia affects the trunk and legs. Quadriplegia affects all limbs, trunk, and pelvic organs.

The damages in a spinal cord injury case depend on the facts of the case. Generally, spinal cord injury cases include damages related to:

Hospitalizations and Surgeries
Medical Treatment
Personal Care
Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy
Loss of Income and Lost Earning Potential
Emotional and Psychological Pain and Suffering
Future Medical Expenses and Personal Care
Long-Term and Assisted Living Care

The value of your damages depends on numerous factors, including the severity of your spinal cord injury. Our Houston spinal cord injury lawyers work with economic, medical, and vocational excerpts to accurately estimate the future expenses and losses you are expected to incur based on the severity of your injuries.
