Bellevue Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer - Paralysis & Spine Injury Claims
Life-Altering Injuries Deserve a Long-Term Legal Strategy
Understanding Spinal Injuries
Not all back injuries are created equal. While minor strains can heal with time, spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can permanently alter your life. When the spinal cord is damaged, it can result in partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, or impaired motor function.
Even injuries that don't result in paralysis-like herniated discs, vertebral fractures, or pinched nerves-can require surgery and lead to chronic pain. At Cascade Injury Law, our spinal cord injury lawyer in Bellevue represents clients facing both catastrophic and moderate spinal trauma. We fight to recover the full financial support required for medical care, mobility, and quality of life.
Common Causes of Spinal Injuries
Our firm handles spine and paralysis injury claims resulting from:
01
Car accidents and truck crashes (a leading cause of SCIs)
02
Motorcycle wrecks, especially high-speed collisions
03
Slip and fall accidents, particularly for older adults
04
Falls from heights, such as ladders or stairwells
05
Sports or recreational accidents
06
Assaults or violent acts
These incidents can instantly change a person's ability to move, work, or live independently. That's why early legal representation is crucial.
Support for Spinal Injuries
Living with a Spinal Cord Injury
Paralysis isn't just a diagnosis-it's a complete lifestyle shift. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may require:
- Wheelchairs or mobility aids
- Home renovations for accessibility (e.g., ramps, widened doorways)
- Personal caregivers or home health nurses
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Assistive technologies for communication or movement
The economic impact is just as serious-many people cannot return to their previous work or may need retraining. Our firm ensures your claim reflects these long-term costs and life care needs.
How We Prove and Value Spine Injury Claims
Insurance companies often dispute the extent or cause of spinal injuries-especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. At Cascade Injury Law, we rely on:
01
MRIs and medical records documenting damage to the spine
02
Physician statements and treatment plans
03
Vocational experts to assess your ability to return to work
04
Economists to project future expenses and lost earning potential
In one case involving back surgery - not involving paralysis - after an auto accident, we recovered $533,000 for our client-demonstrating our experience with serious orthopedic and spinal claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Spine & Paralysis Injury Claims
The insurance company says I had a pre-existing back issue. What can I do?
This is a common tactic. We work with medical experts to prove that your current symptoms are caused-or significantly worsened-by the recent trauma.
What if I'll need surgery or long-term therapy in the future?
We include future medical costs in your claim. This may involve a life care plan developed with your doctors and therapists.
Can my family receive compensation if I'm paralyzed?
Yes. Spouses may file for loss of consortium, and we pursue compensation to cover home care, home modifications, and other family impacts.
