A spinal cord injury can change your life in an instant. Whether it happens in a car crash, workplace accident, or fall, the effects can be devastating — impacting your ability to move, work, and live independently. At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we fight for people whose lives have been permanently altered by the negligence of others.
Attorney Brandon Wolfe understands that behind every case is a person and a family trying to find stability after trauma. Our mission is to hold negligent drivers, employers, property owners, and corporations accountable for the harm they cause and to help our clients secure the resources they need for lifelong care and recovery.
Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord serves as the body’s communication highway — transmitting signals between the brain and every part of the body. When it’s damaged, the consequences can be catastrophic. Common types of spinal cord injuries include:
- Complete spinal cord injury: Total loss of movement and sensation below the site of the injury (paraplegia or quadriplegia).
- Incomplete spinal cord injury: Partial loss of motor function or sensation.
- Fractures or dislocations of the vertebrae: Often caused by high-impact collisions or falls.
- Herniated discs and nerve compression: Causing chronic pain, weakness, or limited mobility.
Spinal injuries require extensive medical treatment, ongoing rehabilitation, and adaptive technology — costs that can easily reach millions of dollars over a lifetime. Wolfe Trial Lawyers fights to ensure that victims aren’t left to shoulder those burdens alone.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Many spinal injuries are preventable and result from another party’s negligence or carelessness. Our firm represents clients injured in:
- Car and truck accidents caused by reckless or distracted drivers
- Motorcycle crashes leading to high-impact spinal trauma
- Slip-and-fall or premises liability incidents from unsafe property conditions
- Workplace or construction accidents involving falls, machinery, or heavy equipment
- Acts of violence or physical assault
- Medical malpractice during surgery or improper patient handling
We conduct thorough investigations to determine the cause of your injury, identify all responsible parties, and pursue every possible avenue for compensation.
The Cost of Living with a Spinal Cord Injury
The aftermath of a spinal injury goes far beyond immediate medical bills. Victims often require lifelong care and accommodations that can place enormous financial strain on families. Wolfe Trial Lawyers helps clients recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and equipment)
- Long-term care and in-home assistance
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Home and vehicle modifications
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life and companionship
Our firm works with top medical specialists, life-care planners, and economists to build a comprehensive claim that fully accounts for your needs now and in the future.

- Investigate the accident scene and gather witness statements
- Review medical records and imaging results with expert physicians
- Consult with life-care planners to project long-term costs
