Houston spinal cord injury lawyer.

A spinal cord injury is a lifetime injury. The legal case must account for every year, every surgery, every home modification, every piece of adaptive equipment. We build it all.

Quick answer: Lifetime costs for high-level spinal cord injuries routinely exceed $5 million and can reach $10 million or more. Proper valuation requires certified life-care planners, vocational experts, economists, and medical specialists. Low settlements are often the result of lawyers who didn't build the damages.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about spinal cord injury cases.

What's an SCI case worth?

It depends on level of injury, age, earning history, and insurance coverage available — but catastrophic SCI cases generally fall in a range from low seven figures to high eight figures when fully built.

How long do these cases take?

SCI cases often take 18–36 months because full damages require the injured person to reach maximum medical improvement, which itself can take a year or more.
