Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

What is a Spinal Cord Injury? An SCI damages the spinal cord, disrupting the brain’s communication with the rest of the body. This can cause loss of movement, sensation, and bodily function, depending on the injury’s severity and location.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries We Handle

  • Paraplegia: Paralysis of the lower body due to damage in the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spine.
  • Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia): Paralysis affecting all four limbs and often organ function, caused by cervical spine injuries.
  • Incomplete vs. Complete Injuries: Some victims retain partial movement or sensation; others lose all function below the injury site.
  • Spinal Fractures & Herniated Discs: These injuries may not cause full paralysis but can still cause chronic pain and major mobility issues.
  • Nerve Damage & Mobility Impairments: Chronic pain, muscle weakness, and coordination loss are common challenges.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: High-speed crashes and rollovers are leading causes of SCIs.
  • Medical Malpractice: Surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, or improper treatment can cause spinal injuries.
  • Workplace & Construction Accidents: Falls, equipment malfunctions, and unsafe conditions often result in SCIs.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Negligent property maintenance can lead to serious spinal trauma.
  • Defective Products: Faulty seat belts, airbags, or medical devices may cause or worsen injuries.

How I Help

  • Free Case Evaluation: I start by listening carefully to your story and assessing your claim.
  • Evidence Gathering: I collaborate with medical and accident experts to build a solid case.
  • Fierce Negotiation: Insurance companies often try to lowball victims—I fight back hard.
  • Trial Ready: If negotiations fail, I’m fully prepared to take your case to court.

Compensation You Can Expect

  • Medical Expenses: Hospital bills, surgeries, rehab, medications, and assistive devices.
  • Lost Wages & Future Earnings: Many SCI victims can’t return to work or have diminished earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of independence.
  • Home Modifications: Wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, and other necessary accessibility changes.
  • Long-Term Care: Nursing, mobility assistance, and adaptive technology for lifelong support.

  • I was badly injured on a construction site and referred to Fulginiti Law. Another firm wouldn't take my case stating it wasn't catastrophic enough, but it was to Ken and certainly to me as I wasn't able to do the job I had done for over 30 years. Ken worked tirelessly along with Sarah and staff as they were always available to answer my questions or concerns, as well as keeping myself and my wife updated on any new developments. Ken is very knowledgeable and professional in his field and he and his staff worked hard on this case while treating us like family. The case was settled out of court however Ken and his staff worked up to the eleventh hour in preparation of that. I truly believe we could not have gotten any better from any other firm. We can not thank them enough. This is a stellar practice. I highly recommend Fulginiti Law.

  • Ken Fulginiti is, by far, the most effective, professional, knowledgeable, and client centered attorney that I have ever met. He was always available if I had any questions, whether those questions were big, small, and sometimes irrelevant. Ken's demeanor was always level and comforting. He made me feel confident that all was well....and it always was.Ken's tireless work on my case was as aggressive on day one as it was on the day that we settled. He changed my life and I am forever grateful for his and his staff's hard work and diligence.
