What to Know About Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can occur in an instant but bring lifelong consequences. Victims may face paralysis, mobility limitations, chronic pain, and overwhelming medical expenses. These injuries often result from motor vehicle collisions, falls, workplace accidents, or acts of negligence that exert severe force on the spine.
If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, immediate action is critical. Evidence such as medical imaging, accident scene documentation, witness statements, and expert evaluations can significantly influence your claim. Boyadzhyan Law Firm specializes in spinal cord injury cases, working closely with neurologists, rehabilitation experts, and accident investigators to secure fair compensation for victims.
Because spinal injuries can worsen over time or require long-term treatment, prompt legal and medical support is essential. Our attorneys handle every aspect of your spinal injury claim—from collecting evidence to negotiating with insurers or pursuing litigation—so you can focus on recovery while we fight for your rights.
Who’s Liable in a Spinal Cord Injury Case?
Spinal cord injury claims can be complex because multiple parties may share responsibility. Liability may extend beyond the individual who directly caused the incident and include:
Negligent Drivers
Motorists responsible for crashes resulting from distracted driving, reckless behavior, or traffic violations.
Property Owners
If hazardous conditions, unsafe structures, or unaddressed dangers contributed to a fall or accident.
Employers or Contractors
When workplace negligence, unsafe equipment, or OSHA violations lead to spinal injuries.
Determining liability requires a detailed review of all circumstances surrounding the incident. Our team conducts thorough investigations, analyzing photos, surveillance footage, accident reconstruction reports, expert medical evaluations, and all available documentation. We challenge denied claims, resolve disputes with insurance companies, and hold every responsible party accountable so you receive the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries often occur abruptly and may result in severe, life-altering consequences. Some of the most common causes include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Workplace or Construction Incidents
- Violent Acts or Trauma
- Sports or Recreational Injuries
Determining the cause is essential to proving fault. Our attorneys analyze accident reports, medical evaluations, scene evidence, and any available footage to build a strong legal case. We also uncover unsafe conditions, defective products, or negligent behavior that may have contributed to your injury.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal injuries often occur in sudden, unexpected incidents. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Motor Vehicle Collisions – High-impact accidents causing severe spinal trauma.
- Slip and Fall Accidents – Falls from heights or on unsafe surfaces.
- Workplace or Construction Incidents – Heavy machinery accidents or falls from ladders or scaffolding.
- Sports-Related Injuries – Impacts or collisions during physical activities.
- Acts of Violence – Gunshots or blunt-force trauma affecting the spine.
National safety data shows that spinal cord injuries result in thousands of severe injuries each year, many of which require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments. These statistics highlight the importance of safety measures and responsible behavior to prevent spinal trauma.
How Spinal Cord Injury Insurance Coverage Works
Understanding insurance coverage after a spinal cord injury is essential but often complicated. Key sources of coverage may include:
At-Fault Party’s Liability Insurance
Covers medical costs, lost income, and other damages caused by the negligent individual.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Applies when the negligent party has little or no coverage available.
Medical Payments (MedPay) Coverage
Can help pay immediate medical expenses regardless of fault.
Insurance companies may dispute the severity of injuries, challenge causation, or delay payments. At Boyadzhyan Law Firm, we gather all necessary evidence—including medical records, imaging results, witness statements, and expert reports—to establish fault and ensure your damages are fully recognized.
