Spinal Cord Injuries

You may be entitled to economic damages (medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, future care) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of quality of life). In severe spinal cord cases, future damages matter most. These cases often require life care plans (expert projections of long-term medical and support needs) to fully value what’s ahead.

Every state has a statute of limitations to file a lawsuit. Miss it, and your case is likely over, no matter how strong it is. There can be exceptions, but don’t rely on them. The safest move is to act early so your legal team can preserve evidence and protect your rights.

Most cases resolve through settlement, but not all. You should be prepared for litigation. Insurance companies track which firms are willing to go the distance. Our network of attorneys prepares every case as if it will go to trial, which puts you in a stronger position in negotiations.

They move fast and aim low. Adjusters and defense lawyers are trained to limit payouts, question the severity of your injury, and shift blame where they can. That’s why you don’t go it alone. At The Popok Firm, our national team works with the Big Auto Accident Attorneys network to counter those tactics with evidence, experts, and strategy.

You may still have a case. Many states follow comparative negligence rules (your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault). The key is to prove that the other party was primarily responsible. That’s a factual and legal fight, and it needs to be handled the right way.

Typically, these cases are handled on a contingency fee basis (you don’t pay upfront, and the attorney is paid a percentage of the recovery). That aligns your legal team’s incentive with your outcome and gives you access to experienced representation without out-of-pocket costs.
