Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers in Ohio

Spinal cord injuries are almost always catastrophic, bringing lifelong physical disabilities and emotional strain. At Attorney Michael Wright, our Ohio accident attorneys have seen firsthand how these injuries devastate victims and their families. The lifetime costs, medical bills, rehabilitation, attendant care, nursing home stays, and durable medical equipment can quickly climb into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. When negligence leads to a spinal cord injury, Ohio law allows victims to seek full compensation from those at fault. Whether in a vehicle collision, a slip and fall, or another serious accident, these cases are complex and require an attorney with specific experience in spinal cord injury claims.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord sends vital motor and sensory information between the brain and nerves throughout your body. However, when the spine and the underlying spinal cord are injured, signals of hot, cold, pain and movement can no longer travel between the brain and impacted nerves. The severity of a spinal cord injury depends on where the damage occurs. The consequences of a severe spinal cord injury may include:

  • Quadriplegia / tetraplegia
  • Paraplegia
  • Loss of motor skills, such as walking
  • Decline in sexual function
  • Loss of sensation in limbs or other body parts
  • Loss of manual dexterity
  • Loss of bowel and bladder function
  • Inability to breathe or swallow
  • Chronic pain
  • Inability to sweat below the injury
  • Loss of balance

The most common cause of spinal cord injuries are automobile accidents, although assault, falls, sports accidents, and even medical malpractice are frequent causes as well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spinal Cord Injury Cases

Spinal cord injury claims often result in some of the highest settlements and verdicts in personal injury law due to the severity and lifelong impact of these injuries. Compensation typically covers:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)

  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

  • Ongoing rehabilitation and in-home care

  • Pain and suffering

  • Assistive technology, home modifications, and transportation needs

The total value of a spinal cord injury claim can vary significantly based on the severity of the injury, age of the victim, and long-term care requirements. Working with an experienced spinal cord injury attorney can help you pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Spinal cord injuries require extensive and often lifelong medical care, with costs that can quickly add up. Common expenses include:

  • Emergency care and hospitalization immediately after the injury

  • Surgical procedures and specialized imaging

  • Inpatient rehabilitation and therapy

  • Medications, durable medical equipment, and ongoing outpatient care

  • Home health services or nursing assistance

  • Vehicle and home modifications to accommodate mobility needs

Because each injury is different, treatment costs depend on the level and completeness of the injury, as well as the individual’s long-term prognosis.

The lifetime cost of living with a spinal cord injury can be overwhelming. These injuries often result in:

  • Loss of income or employment opportunities

  • Permanent reliance on assistive technologies like wheelchairs, lifts, or ventilators

  • Ongoing therapy and caregiving needs

  • Home modifications and transportation challenges

People injured at a younger age or those with more severe forms of paralysis (such as tetraplegia) tend to face higher long-term expenses. Financial recovery through a legal claim is often essential to manage the burden of medical care and maintain quality of life.
