The Severe Consequences of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can result in life-altering consequences, including paralysis, loss of sensation, and a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. Victims may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care, which can place a significant financial strain on them and their families. The emotional toll of adapting to a new reality and coping with the limitations imposed by the injury can be equally devastating.
When a spinal cord injury is caused by someone else's negligence, whether through a car accident, workplace incident, or any other preventable situation, it is crucial to seek the help of an experienced personal injury attorney who can guide you and your loved ones through the legal process and fight for your rights and the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes and Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can occur in a variety of situations, often due to the negligence or recklessness of others. Some of the most common causes in Atlanta include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle and e-scooter accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Workplace accidents
- Acts of violence
- Sports and recreational activities
These accidents can lead to different types of spinal cord injuries, which are generally categorized as either complete or incomplete, depending on the extent of damage to the spinal cord.
Complete Spinal Cord Injuries:
- Result in total loss of sensation and motor function below the level of injury
- May cause paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body) or tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs)
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries:
- Result in partial loss of sensation and motor function below the level of injury
- May cause varying degrees of paralysis, weakness, and sensory impairment
- Examples include anterior cord syndrome, central cord syndrome, and Brown-Sequard syndrome
Regardless of the cause or type of your spinal cord injury, the experienced Atlanta attorneys at Hagen Rosskopf, "The People's Lawyers," are here to help. We will work tirelessly to investigate your case, identify all liable parties, and pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Our Commitment To You
We can’t promise you that you will recover millions from your personal injury case. No personal injury lawyer should make you any promises about what they can settle your case for. We can’t promise you that your health will be fully restored. We can’t bring back your loved one lost in a senseless accident. We can’t assure you a painless, stress-free, easy journey after your spinal cord injury.
What we can promise you is to prioritize your well-being and treat you with compassion, dignity, and respect. Our law firm was founded on the virtues that guide us to consider the human element above all. We will do this by:
- Having honest and open communication about your case and potential legal problems and challenges. You may not always like what we have to say but being upfront and honest will ensure that you have realistic expectations about the value and timeline for your case.
- Responding to emails and phone calls within 24 hours: we know how frustrating car accident attorneys and law firms can be, including us. We work to improve our communication with our clients daily and evaluate our processes regularly.
- Taking the time to explain and discuss each step of the process with you, so you can understand what is happening with your case, why it’s happening and what to expect next.
- Working efficiently and with the latest technology to gather medical bills and records in a timely manner, to conduct crucial investigation early on, and to move your case along understanding that you may need financial compensation as soon as possible.
- Listening to you: we are never too busy to talk, we want to know how your medical treatment is going and what is stressing you out. Your input and contributions are valuable and important to your case.
- Being sensitive to cultural, racial, gender, and language diversity and seeking inclusivity in our communications and practices.
At Hagen Rosskopf, we are more than just attorneys - we are passionate advocates for the rights of victims and their families. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges you face, and we are here to provide the skilled legal representation and unwavering support you need during this difficult time.
