Why Trust Our Spinal Cord Injury Attorney with Your Case?
Victims of spinal cord injuries often face a challenging recovery process through no fault of their own. These injuries are costly claims to pay out for insurance companies, and they will do what they can to settle for too little and often too fast. When you hire our North Charleston spinal cord injury attorney, we level the playing field in several key ways:
- Decades of experience fighting insurance companies: Experience matters. It enables our attorneys to know the tactics insurance companies use and your rights under the law.

- Proven results: We have helped many victims with spinal cord injuries recover fair damages under the law, and we do not give up until we believe you are getting truly fair compensation.
With the guidance of a lawyer, you gain an experienced, proven legal team that will not charge you anything for our services unless we win your case. Your first step is to talk with us, which will enable us to learn more about your accident and consider the worth of your claim. There is no cost for our consultations to discuss your case.

Complications from Spinal Cord Injuries
As highly experienced spinal cord injury lawyers, we understand the complications that come from these accidents. Often, victims have a very long road ahead of them with limitations throughout the process, including recovery as well as loss of ability to return to work.
