Why Spinal Cord Injury Cases Require Specialized Legal Representation
Spinal injuries often involve:
Advanced medical technology and treatment plans
Vocational rehabilitation and life-care planning
Permanent disability and lifestyle changes
High lifetime medical costs exceeding millions of dollars

Our Personal Injury Lawyers work with neurologists, orthopedic specialists, life-care planners, economists, and rehabilitation experts to properly value your claim so that maximum compensation can be determined.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in New Mexico
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents remain the leading causes of spinal trauma. Even low-speed collisions can result in vertebral fractures, herniated discs, or spinal cord severance—especially if seat belts malfunction or the impact is severe.
2. Falls from Height or Slip and Falls
Injuries to the spinal cord can be sustained from falls coming from scaffolding, ladders, stairwells, and uneven sidewalks. The majority of traumatic spinal injuries come through falls amongst elderly and construction-type workers.
3. Workplace Accidents
Spinal injury is also very common in high-risk industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing-both by falling objects or heavy equipment accidents and unsafe working conditions. In this regard, claims pertaining to workers' compensation and third-party liability can be made.
4. Sports and Recreational Injuries
These are spinal injuries that usually occur to the cervical and thoracic regions because of high-impact sports such as football, diving, skiing, and gymnastics. Other common causes include defective equipment, poor coaching, and unsafe playing environments.
5. Medical Malpractice or Surgical Error
It can be damaged during surgery, through misdiagnosis, or by a mistake with anesthesia. Cases involving SCIs and medical malpractice include a number of elements that must be investigated in detail to prove liability.
6. Acts of Violence
Permanent spinal cord injuries can be caused by gunshot wounds, stabbings, or other violent assaults; both civil personal injury lawsuits and criminal restitution may be available in these cases.
Long-Term Consequences of Spinal Cord Injuries
SCIs often result in
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Chronic pain and neuropathy
- Inability to walk or perform basic self-care activities
- Increased risk for infections, pressure ulcers, and blood clots
