Spinal Cord Injuries โ€” Catastrophic and Life-Altering

Spinal cord injuries are among the most catastrophic injuries a person can suffer. Complete or partial paralysis, loss of sensation, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and chronic neuropathic pain can permanently alter every aspect of a victim's life. The lifetime costs of SCI care โ€” including medical treatment, adaptive equipment, home modifications, and personal care โ€” can exceed several million dollars. Your compensation must reflect this reality.

Why SCI Cases Require the Most Experienced Attorneys

Spinal cord injury cases demand attorneys who understand both the medical complexity and the economic magnitude of these claims. Our Chicago SCI attorneys engage leading spinal cord specialists, rehabilitation experts, life care planners, and economic experts to calculate and present the true lifetime cost of your injury. We pursue every available source of compensation โ€” and we don't settle for anything less than maximum recovery.

A complete SCI means total loss of motor and sensory function below the injury level. An incomplete SCI means some function is preserved.

SCI cases are among the highest-value personal injury claims. Lifetime care costs alone can reach $3-5 million or more for severe injuries. Total settlements and verdicts in SCI cases frequently range from $2 million to over $10 million depending on severity, age, and available insurance.
Yes, under Illinois's modified comparative negligence law. As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you can recover โ€” with your damages reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work to minimize any fault attributed to you to maximize your recovery.
