Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury can change a person’s movement, sensation, and ability to manage daily life. The effects and course of recovery vary with the injury. Nuell & Polsky helps injured people and their families investigate what happened and understand their legal options.

Spinal cord injuries can occur in motor vehicle crashes, falls, and other serious accidents. We review available evidence, including accident reports, photographs, video, witness accounts, and safety records, along with medical records and treatment history. When appropriate, we work with qualified experts to understand the injury, rehabilitation, future care needs, adaptive equipment, and effects on work and everyday activities.

In a related Notable Case, falling construction debris struck our client, a father of two, as he left a building under construction. The injury left him paralyzed. Our investigation identified multiple responsible parties, and the case resolved with a seven-figure settlement. Past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of a future case.

If you or a family member suffered a spinal cord injury because of another party’s negligence, contact Nuell & Polsky to discuss your situation.
