Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

We Believe No Innocent Claimant Should Pay For the Reckless Mistakes of Others

Whether caused by a car accident or medical malpractice, a spinal cord injury dramatically decreases an individual’s quality of life. Unable to work and keep pace with mounting medical bills, many spinal cord injury victims develop anxiety or depression. Some even turn to suicide.

If you or a loved one have experienced a spinal cord injury due to another’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. At Breit Biniazan, our spinal cord injury lawyers understand the devastating effects of a catastrophic injury and are here to provide the relentless legal representation you deserve.

Are you ready for a full and fair settlement? If so, contact our spinal cord injury law firm today for a free case evaluation. Call (855) 659-4457.

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Any damage to the spinal cord—a column of nerve tissue responsible for movement and sensation—that results in a loss of function is considered a spinal cord injury. These injuries are caused by a sudden, traumatic blow to the spinal bones (vertebrae). The fractured bones then damage fragile nerve tissue.

A spinal cord injury changes the body forever, affecting bladder and bowel function, breathing, heart rate, muscle movements, reflexes, and sensations. The higher the injury on the spinal cord, the higher the risk for dysfunction. For example, individuals who suffer damage to the high-cervical nerves at the top of the neck and base of the skull may experience paralysis or death.

Statute of Limitations on Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuits

In Virginia, individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury or other personal injury must pursue legal action within two years from the date of the accident. However, at Breit Biniazan, we encourage claimants to pursue justice as soon as possible. Acting sooner rather than later gives your spinal cord injury attorney time to build a strong case. But it also ensures that you receive financial compensation when you need it most.

Damages You Can Receive for Your Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries demand intensive medical treatment. In fact, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates the long-term care costs of a spinal cord injury to be $5 million1. Though no amount of money will justify the physical and emotional trauma you have experienced, a fair settlement can help defray these costs.

If you have experienced a spinal cord injury, you may be able to recover costs associated with:

  • Medical bills: Spinal cord injuries typically require hospital stays, physical therapy, prescription drugs, and at-home care. Depending on your case, the negligible party may be responsible for these costs.
  • Lost wages: If you can’t return to your job, you may be able to demand retribution for lost wages as well as diminished future earnings.
  • Pain and suffering: In the state of Virginia, claimants can pursue compensation for non-economic damages like emotional trauma.
  • Wrongful death: If your loved one passed away because of a spinal cord injury, no amount of money can bring them back. However, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide the financial resources needed to move forward.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are two primary types of spinal cord injuries.

  • Complete: A complete spinal cord injury causes total paralysis below the injury. Paralysis may affect all four limbs (quadriplegia) or the lower half of the body (paraplegia).
  • Incomplete: After an incomplete or partial spinal cord injury, the individual retains some function. They may experience weakness or paralysis in the limbs (central cord syndrome) or impaired muscle sensation (individual nerve cell injuries).

Other factors that affect your case include your age, health, education level, and the psychological impacts of your injury.

To receive the financial compensation you deserve, contact our personal injury law firm by calling (855) 659-4457.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Each year, approximately 500,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury2. Though these injuries are life-changing, they typically happen during very normal, everyday activities like driving to work or swimming with friends.

Consider the common causes of spinal cord injuries:

  • Slip and fall accidents: In slip and fall accidents, most victims fall on their backs. This sudden impact can break vertebrae and damage nerve tissue.
  • Recreational accidents: Diving into shallow water or falling while mountain biking can change your life in a flash. Snowboarding, horseback riding, and playing sports like football and hockey can also cause a spinal cord injury.
  • Acts of violence: A gunshot or knife wound can tear through the sensitive spinal column, resulting in life-long paralysis.
  • Car accidents: Car wrecks lead to a variety of injuries, though the most common is blunt force trauma to the head and spine.
  • Medical malpractice: When a doctor makes an error, such as nicking the spinal column during surgery, spinal cord injuries occur.

No matter the cause of your spinal cord injury, the personal injury lawyers at Breit Biniazan will conduct a thorough investigation to prove negligence. We’ll then fight hard for retribution, taking the responsible party to court if need be.

Who Is Liable in a Spinal Injury Case

Similar to other personal injury lawsuits, the party who caused your spinal cord injury is liable. The negligent person(s) varies depending on your unique circumstances.

  • Medical malpractice: In the case of medical malpractice, the doctor is liable. Typically, these lawsuits target the hospital or healthcare system the doctor is associated with.
  • Car or Truck accidents: The reckless driver who caused the collision may be responsible for your damages. If the accident occurred because of a manufacturing error, the automobile company may be responsible.
  • On the job: If your injury occurred at work, your employer’s worker’s compensation policy will cover damages. But if the accident happened because of faulty machinery, the manufacturer could be held liable.

Building a Spinal Injury Case

Proving negligence in a spinal cord injury case is easier said than done. Even if you know your car accident was caused by a reckless driver or that your surgeon nicked your spinal cord, it’s difficult to hold these parties liable. That’s why you need an expert personal injury lawyer.

When you hire Breit Biniazan, our spinal cord injury attorneys will immediately begin conducting meticulous research. We’ll review the details of your case—the police report filed after your crash, for instance—and search for more evidence like traffic cam footage or first-hand accounts. We’ll also hire experts like accident reconstructionists.

In short, our personal injury lawyers in will work tirelessly to build a foolproof case. What’s even better? You won’t pay a single cent in fees until we win your settlement.

Choosing an Experienced Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Throughout their legal careers, the spinal cord injury attorneys at Breit Biniazan have witnessed the life-altering consequences of negligence. Our lawyers take every injustice very personally and are dedicated to the fight for retribution.

Unlike other personal injury attorneys, we aren’t intimidated by a hospital or Fortune 500 company’s big-time legal teams. We know their cunning tactics and won’t back down until we reach an appropriate settlement.

Spinal Cord Injury Cases FAQs

How much is a spinal injury worth?

Spinal cord injuries vary widely. Some victims experience mild nerve damage while others experience complete paralysis. Because of this, it can be challenging to predict the final settlement amount. However, spinal cord injury cases are some of the highest-grossing personal injury claims and often return $1 million with the help of an expert attorney.

What are the signs and symptoms of a spinal cord injury?

Spinal cord injuries can cause a total loss of sensation and function below the site of the injury. In less severe cases, a spinal cord injury may cause problems walking, loss of control of the bladder and bowels, numbness and tingling in the extremities, and headaches.

What is an incomplete vs complete spinal cord injury?

In an incomplete spinal cord injury, the victim retains some sensation and function below the site of the injury. Comparatively, a complete spinal cord injury causes total paralysis below the injury.

I would recommend to family & friends."

Cobi M.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case.

I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Edward D.

"My experience with the team at Breit Biniazan was nothing short of outstanding. They handled our case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
