Fighting for Justice After Life-Altering Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury can change every aspect of your life in an instant. From permanent paralysis to chronic pain, these injuries often require lifelong medical care, extensive rehabilitation, and significant lifestyle adjustments.
In the United States, approximately 18,000 new traumatic spinal cord injuries occur each year, which corresponds to about 54 cases per one million people. Additionally, an estimated 302,000 Americans are living with spinal cord injuries, with a range between 255,000 and 383,000.
At Lampert & Walsh, our spinal cord injury attorneys have decades of experience standing up for victims and their families. We understand the medical, financial, and emotional challenges you’re facing. Our goal is simple: hold negligent parties accountable and secure the maximum compensation you need to move forward.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries We Handle
Our spinal injury attorneys have successfully represented clients in cases involving:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions are among the leading causes of spinal trauma. Our spinal injury lawyers work with accident reconstruction experts to prove fault, link the crash to your injuries, and pursue maximum compensation.
Falls and Premises Liability
Unsafe stairs, broken railings, and poorly maintained property can cause devastating falls. We investigate property owner negligence, collect safety inspection records, and build strong premises liability claims.
Sports and Recreational Accidents
High-impact activities like skiing, snowboarding, and diving carry a serious risk of spinal injury. Our spine injury lawyer team holds negligent coaches, facility operators, or event organizers accountable for unsafe conditions.
Workplace Accidents
Industrial sites and construction zones often involve heavy machinery and elevated work areas. We pursue both workers’ compensation and third-party claims when negligence causes a spinal cord injury.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or delayed treatment can worsen or cause spinal damage. Our attorneys partner with medical experts to prove breach of duty and secure justice in these complex cases.
Acts of Violence
Gunshots, assaults, and other violent acts often result in severe spinal cord injuries. We help victims recover through both civil lawsuits and restitution from responsible parties.

Why Spinal Cord Injury Cases Require Specialized Legal Representation
Severe Long-Term Impact
Spinal cord injuries often lead to permanent disability, loss of mobility, or complete paralysis. Victims may require home modifications, assistive technology, and ongoing medical care, all of which demand significant financial resources.
High Medical Costs
According to national data, lifetime costs for a severe spinal cord injury can exceed millions of dollars, factoring in surgeries, rehabilitation, and in-home care. Without aggressive legal representation, victims risk being left with overwhelming expenses.
Multiple Liable Parties
Fault in spinal injury cases can involve several parties, from negligent drivers and careless property owners to defective product manufacturers and healthcare providers. We investigate every angle to ensure no responsible party escapes accountability.
Insurance Resistance
Because spinal cord injuries often involve high-dollar claims, insurance carriers will fight hard to minimize payouts. Having an experienced legal team ensures you’re not pressured into settling for less than your future requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after my spinal injury should I contact an attorney?
Can I file a spinal injury claim if the accident happened months ago?
Do spinal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis?
Yes. At Lampert & Walsh, our spinal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, meaning you don’t pay upfront. We only collect fees if we win compensation for you.
Will my case go to trial?
Many spinal cord injury cases are resolved through settlements. However, if the other party refuses to offer fair compensation, our spine injury lawyers are prepared to take your case to court.
What evidence helps prove a spinal cord injury claim?
Strong evidence can include medical records, diagnostic imaging, accident reports, witness statements, expert opinions, and documentation of your ongoing treatment and limitations.
How long does a spinal injury lawsuit take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case, the severity of injuries, and whether it settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take over a year.
Can I claim compensation for mental health impacts after a spinal injury?
Yes. Colorado law allows you to recover damages for emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological effects that stem from your spinal cord injury.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
