Real Outcomes

We don't settle just to close your case.

Case results depend on the specific facts of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Right After It Happens

What to Do After a Spinal Cord Injury

What you do in the first hours and days can shape what your case is worth. Here's what actually matters.

1

Get Immediate Medical Attention

Spinal injuries can worsen without prompt treatment. Any numbness, tingling, or loss of movement after an accident needs immediate evaluation.

2

Follow Your Treatment Plan

Consistent, documented treatment matters both for your recovery and for showing the true extent of your injury.

3

Document the Impact on Daily Life

Keep track of what you can no longer do, or do differently. This becomes real evidence of how the injury has changed your life.

4

Avoid Recorded Statements

Insurance adjusters often ask for a recorded statement before the full extent of a spinal injury is known. You're not obligated to give one.

5

Talk to an Attorney Before You Settle

Once you accept a settlement, you can't go back for more — even if your care needs turn out to be lifelong.

What You May Be Entitled To

Compensation for Spinal Cord Injury Victims

A spinal cord injury can cost more than the medical bills alone. Arizona law lets you pursue compensation for the full impact — not just whatever the insurance company offers first.

Medical Expenses

Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.

Lost Wages

Income lost while you recover, plus future earning capacity if the injury changes what you can do.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for the physical pain and emotional toll the accident caused, not just the bills.

Property Damage

Vehicle repair or replacement, plus anything else damaged in the accident.

Punitive Damages

In cases of gross negligence — like drunk driving — additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party.

Know Your Rights

Arizona Law You Should Know

Two rules shape almost every spinal cord injury claim in Arizona: how long you have to file, and what happens if fault isn't 100% clear-cut. Both usually work in your favor more than people assume.

2 Years
Statute of Limitations
Arizona's deadline to file a spinal cord injury claim, from the date of the accident

Comparative Negligence

Arizona lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case just because fault isn't 100% clear-cut.

Don't Wait

In some cases, you may have as little as 6 months to file your complaint, and certain claims must settle within about a year. Start the process now instead of waiting and potentially missing out.

Questions

Frequently Asked Spinal Cord Injury Questions

How do you account for future medical costs?

We work with life-care planners and medical experts to project future treatment, equipment, and caregiving costs — not just what you've spent so far.

How long do I have to file a spinal cord injury claim in Arizona?

Arizona's statute of limitations for spinal cord injury claims is two years from the date of the injury.

What if I was partially at fault?

Arizona follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.

How much is my case worth?

Spinal cord injury cases account for a lifetime of potential care, lost earning capacity, and quality-of-life impact. We give you a real, honest number after reviewing your case.

Do I need an attorney for a spinal cord injury claim?

These cases involve some of the highest stakes of any injury claim. There's no cost to find out where you stand.
