3
Keep a recordMedical records, bills, and a simple log of pain and the things you can't do.
4
Don't sign anything. Call us.Early release forms and medical authorizations are written to limit what they owe you. A ten-minute call costs nothing and tells you where you stand.

Serious injury questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

How much is my injury case worth?
It depends on the injury, the treatment you need, your lost income and how the injury changes your life, and on the insurance available. We look at all of it before any number is discussed.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still have a case. In most states your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, not wiped out. The insurer will try to put more blame on you than the facts support. That's our fight, not yours.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

More about quadriplegia

Read the full guide

Quadriplegia is an injury to the spinal cord that results in paralysis of the arms, body and legs of the injured individual. Most often quadriplegia is the result of an accident. If your paralysis (or the paralysis of a loved one) was caused by another person’s negligence, our team of attorneys is ready to help you gain compensation for your injuries.

Typically, an insurance company is responsible to provide adequate compensation for your injury, and its associated economic losses and long-term costs for ongoing care. These companies often try to minimize your claim. Our team of legal experts will ensure you receive maximum compensation from the insurance providers of the responsible party or parties.

Common Accidents that Cause Quadriplegia

About Quadriplegia

Your spinal cord is divided into four sections - cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. At the top of your spinal cord, in your neck, is the cervical area. The nerves in this area control the head/neck, diaphragm, biceps, deltoids, wrist, triceps and hands. If the C1 – C4 are damaged, the result may be quadriplegia, a complete paralysis of arms, body and legs. Due to the location of the injury, a number of critical body functions are compromised, including the respiratory system, bladder and sexual functions and a person's ability to communicate without assistance.

Understanding Your Injury

Quadriplegia is among the most significant injuries anyone can experience. Permanent and irreversible, the injured require lifelong care and assistance. The emotional effects of the injury are also overwhelming and require therapy. The patient may also benefit from psychoactive medications. The scope of ongoing care, both physical and emotional, places a strain on family members and care givers as well.

Due to the severity and permanence of the injury, the cost of long-term care, and the scope of its effect on others, it’s crucial to have and attorney who understands what level of compensation is adequate and fair. Do not put your case in the hands of an unqualified or under qualified attorneys.
