A spinal cord injury can change everything — causing paralysis, loss of sensation, inability to work, and dependence on others for daily care. We guide families through the steps to protect your loved one’s health, rights, and future. The good news is Louisiana law allows families to recover compensation for the harm caused and the care needed going forward.

Emergency transport, spinal surgeries, ICU stays, imaging and testing, and acute trauma care at specialized facilities.

Physical therapy, occupational therapy, pain management, bladder and bowel care programs, and respiratory therapy.

Most spinal cord injury victims never return to their previous jobs. We fight for the income you’ve lost for life.

24/7 home care or nursing facility placement, wheelchair-accessible home modifications, specialized medical equipment, attendant care, and ongoing medical treatment. Lifetime costs can exceed millions.

Whether it just happened or you’re dealing with ongoing complications, these steps protect you and your case:

See a spinal cord specialist immediately. Proper treatment in the first hours and days can impact your recovery and function.

Keep records of all treatments, surgeries, medications, therapy sessions, and how your injury has changed your life.

They’ll try to minimize your injuries or rush you into a settlement before you know the full extent of your damages.

We work with spinal specialists, life care planners, and economists to prove the full cost of your lifetime care needs.

Our team has spent decades securing lifetime care and maximum compensation for catastrophically injured victims across Louisiana.

Over 40 years handling spinal cord injury cases across Louisiana. We know the devastating impact paralysis has on every aspect of your life.

We hire spinal specialists, life care planners, vocational experts, and economists to calculate your true lifetime needs and losses.

Spinal cord injuries require millions in lifetime care. We don’t settle for less than what you’ll need for the rest of your life.

Total loss of sensation and function below the injury site. Often results in quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) or paraplegia (paralysis of lower body and legs).

Partial loss of function below the injury. Some sensation or movement may remain, but significant disability and limitations persist.

Injuries to C1-C8 vertebrae can cause quadriplegia, inability to breathe without assistance, and complete dependence on caregivers.

Injuries to T1-T12 vertebrae typically cause paraplegia, loss of trunk control, and wheelchair dependence.

Injuries to L1-S5 vertebrae affect hip and leg function, bladder and bowel control, and sexual function.
