Although any powerful impact to the back can result in a spinal cord injury, SCIs are especially common in preventable accident such as car wrecks, violent acts, and slips and falls. The paralysis attorneys at Weston & Pape will tailor their legal strategies to the specific facts of your case. Our lawyers will perform a meticulous investigation to uncover the cause of your injury, identify all potentially liable parties, and calculate your damages. We work with an expansive network of medical experts, accident reconstruction experts, and other expert witnesses whose testimony may prove vital to the success of your case.

We handle many types of spinal cord injury cases including SCIs caused by:

• Motor-Vehicle Collisions: Auto accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries, accounting for nearly half of all SCIs in the United States. In less than a second, an unexpected collision can result in a devastating back injury that has lifelong repercussions. If your crash was caused by another driver’s negligence, you might have grounds for a claim not only against your own Personal Injury Protection insurance policy but also against the at-fault driver and his or her insurance company.


• Trip or Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls are the second leading cause of spinal cord injuries. Elderly people are particularly susceptible to SCIs in the event of a fall.


• Violent Acts: Acts of violence account for about 12 percent of all spinal cord injuries in the United States. If your spinal cord injury happened due to a violent attack, you might have grounds for a claim not only against the attacker but also against another party. For example, if your injury occurred on a commercial property such as a hotel, you might have grounds for a claim against the business establishment for failing to provide adequate security.
