In Marshall, many catastrophic paralysis cases begin with incidents that happen quickly and create long-term consequences: a collision on a busy roadway, an equipment or fall accident at a jobsite, or a property hazard that wasn’t handled in time.
When paralysis results from a spinal cord injury, brain injury, or other severe neurological damage, the case typically turns on three core issues:
- Causation: linking the incident to the neurological outcome
- Liability: identifying who may be responsible under Texas law
- Damages: documenting the full impact—medical, functional, and financial—over time
Because paralysis often requires ongoing care, the strongest cases are the ones that treat early documentation like evidence—not paperwork.
