In many catastrophic injury claims, the first settlement contact comes before your medical picture is complete. That’s especially risky after spinal cord injuries, where the initial diagnosis may evolve and the long-term level of assistance needed can become clearer only after rehabilitation.

- Quick “liability” theories based on the first version of events
- Attempts to steer the claim toward minimal coverage while treatment is still unfolding
A paralysis-focused lawyer pushes back by building a case around medical causation, severity, and the real cost of care—not a premature estimate.
