Before joining the world of injury law, Kenneth Morgan Biggs served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a district prosecutor. He knows what it means to fight for others. He takes every client’s future personally, and he doesn't back down.
John Greenslade knows how insurance companies work because he used to work for them. That makes him a powerful advocate for people with spinal cord injuries. He knows how to push back when insurers try to cut corners.
As a former prosecutor, Annie Northcutt is used to handling emotionally tough cases, and she brings that same heart and grit to her injury clients. She listens, she cares, and she fights to make sure her clients feel seen and supported through every step of the process.
Morgan knows how overwhelming a spinal cord injury can be and helps her clients make sense of the legal process without added stress. With Morgan, you get a clear plan, honest answers, and someone who’s got your back from start to finish.
The spinal cord acts as the body's communication highway. When it’s damaged, the effects can range from partial numbness to full paralysis. The severity depends on where the injury occurs and whether the cord is bruised, torn, or severed.
Spinal cord injuries are typically categorized as:
These injuries often lead to:
Even when mobility remains intact, many spinal injury victims suffer from lifelong complications requiring ongoing treatment, assistive devices, or major life adjustments.
Recognizing the symptoms of a spinal cord injury early can make a critical difference in receiving proper medical care and building a strong legal case. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop gradually, depending on the nature and severity of the injury.
If you or someone you love experiences any of the following symptoms after an accident or trauma, seek medical attention right away:
Some symptoms may be subtle at first, but they can worsen over time. Early diagnosis not only helps prevent further damage. It also provides vital documentation if you decide to pursue a legal claim. At Biggs & Greenslade, we can help connect you with medical experts and guide you through the next legal steps.
Many spinal cord injuries are preventable - and often caused by negligence. Our personal injury firm handles claims involving:
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are among the most common causes of spinal injuries. The impact of a collision can fracture vertebrae or compress the spinal cord, leading to permanent disability.
Slip-and-falls or structural failures on stairs, walkways, or job sites can cause spinal damage. Property owners and managers have a legal duty to fix hazards before someone gets hurt.
Waco's construction workers and oilfield employees face high risks of back and spinal injuries from falls, machinery accidents, and falling debris. We pursue claims against negligent contractors, site owners, and equipment manufacturers.
Acts of violence, such as shootings or assaults, can cause irreversible spinal cord injuries. Victims may be able to bring a civil suit for damages in addition to any criminal proceedings.
These cases require more than just proving someone was at fault. You also need to clearly demonstrate the full scope of your damages: medical, financial, and personal.
Spinal cord injuries often involve:
At Biggs & Greenslade, we build a case that clearly shows what you’re owed.
In Texas, spinal cord injury victims may be entitled to a wide range of compensation. This can include:
We take the time to understand how your injury has affected every part of your life - not just what’s on a medical chart. Then we build a case that reflects the full impact and demands the compensation you deserve.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some exceptions apply, such as cases involving minors or injuries discovered later.
Don’t wait. Delays can hurt your ability to collect evidence, get witness testimony, or recover the full value of your claim. Talk to our Waco personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
