Advocates for Victims of Spinal Cord and Back Injuries

A spinal injury is one of the most serious traumas a person can experience. Damage to the spinal cord or surrounding structures can result in chronic pain, loss of movement, paralysis, and dramatic life changes for both victims and their families. At Calvert Law Firm, we understand the complex medical, legal, and emotional challenges that follow a spine injury. Our Oklahoma spine injury lawyers are committed to helping you access the best care, fight for justice, and recover the resources you need for your future.

Understanding Spine Injuries

The spine is a complex system of vertebrae, nerves, and soft tissues. Injuries to this area can range from minor back pain to devastating spinal cord damage, including:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Vertebral fractures and dislocations
• Spinal cord injuries (SCI), including complete or partial paralysis
• Nerve root damage (radiculopathy)
• Loss of sensation, mobility, or bladder/bowel function
• Chronic pain syndromes (such as failed back syndrome)

Common causes of spine injuries include:

• Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian)
• Large truck and commercial vehicle crashes
• Falls and slip/trip accidents
• Workplace and construction site incidents
• Oilfield and industrial accidents
• Sports or recreational injuries
• Acts of violence or assault

The Impact of Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury can change everything in an instant. Victims may face:

• Permanent paralysis (paraplegia, quadriplegia)
• Chronic pain or loss of sensation
• The need for wheelchairs, mobility aids, or home modifications
• In-home nursing care or assistance with daily activities
• Loss of employment and earning capacity
• Emotional and psychological trauma, including depression and anxiety

These injuries can also have a profound impact on families—requiring new routines, support, and resources for years to come.
