One of the most dreaded of diagnoses, a spinal cord injury, can be traumatic and life-changing. Our accident attorneys in Tacoma, WA, have seen the repercussions of paralyzing injuries, and are dedicated to helping victims and their families. When a negligent or reckless act causes catastrophic harm, we believe substantial compensation is deserved and worth fighting for.

We have been practicing personal injury litigation for more than 35 years, and we offer a proven record of results for our clients.
Trauma to the spinal cord can lead to neurological injury that impairs communication between the brain and the body. Even mild injuries can cause debilitating weakness, numbing, and other chronic symptoms, and a severe impact may mean permanent paralysis. Depending upon the site of the injury, symptoms may affect only the lower body (paraplegia), or may result in loss of motor control and sensation from the neck down (quadriplegia).
The majority of spinal cord injuries occur because of motor vehicle accidents. These incidents can include pedestrian accidents and roadway collisions involving bicycles and motorcycles. Other common causes of paralyzing injuries include slip and falls, industrial accidents, and sports accidents.
