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, 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.
