Spinal injuries are among the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. Whether caused by a car crash, a fall at work, or an act of violence, these injuries can permanently change how you move, work, and live. If you or a loved one has sustained a spinal cord injury in Wheaton due to someone else’s negligence, the Wheaton spinal injury attorney at Malloy Law Offices is ready to fight for the justice and financial recovery you deserve.
The spinal cord is the body’s central communication highway—controlling movement, sensation, and organ function. When that system is disrupted, the effects can be permanent. Common types of spinal injuries include:
Complete Spinal Cord Injury – A total loss of motor and sensory function below the point of injury.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury – Partial loss of movement or feeling, often with varied recovery outcomes.
Herniated or Bulging Discs – Discs between vertebrae shift or rupture, pressing on nerves and causing intense pain or weakness.
Spinal Fractures – Often result from trauma like car accidents or falls, potentially destabilizing the spinal column.
Nerve Root Compression – Injuries that affect the nerve roots emerging from the spine, causing radiating pain or numbness.
Spinal trauma can lead to permanent disability or chronic pain—and it often requires a lifetime of medical care and lifestyle adjustments.
Spinal injuries can happen anywhere—on the road, at work, or even while shopping. Common causes we see include:
Vehicle Collisions – Especially rear-end crashes, rollovers, and motorcycle accidents.
Slip and Falls – Occur in poorly maintained buildings, icy walkways, or uneven flooring.
Construction and Industrial Accidents – Falls from scaffolding, collapsing structures, or being struck by heavy equipment.
Acts of Violence – Including shootings, stabbings, or assaults.
Defective Products – Such as failed safety gear or faulty vehicle components.
If someone’s negligence or a dangerous condition caused your spinal injury, you have the right to pursue a claim for damages.
Spinal injuries impact every area of a person’s life—not just physically, but emotionally and financially as well. Long-term consequences may include:
Paralysis (paraplegia or quadriplegia)
Incontinence or sexual dysfunction
Chronic back, neck, or nerve pain
Loss of independence and mobility
Depression, anxiety, and PTSD
Inability to work or care for oneself
Need for 24/7 personal assistance
We work with medical specialists, life care planners, and vocational experts to understand and convey the full impact of your injury.
Spinal injuries often result in some of the highest personal injury verdicts and settlements—because the needs are long-term and the stakes are high. You may be eligible for compensation that includes:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Surgical costs and spinal rehabilitation
Lost income and loss of future earning ability
Pain and suffering
Cost of mobility aids (wheelchairs, braces)
Home and vehicle modifications
In-home nursing or caregiving support
Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death damages, if the injury proves fatal
We don’t accept “lowball” offers that ignore the future. We demand compensation that matches the scope of your loss.
