Philadelphia Spinal Cord Injury Attorney
A spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating injuries anyone can face. It can cause partial or total paralysis, chronic pain, and lifelong medical needs. At Wilk Law Firm, our Philadelphia spinal cord injury attorneys represent victims whose lives have been forever changed by negligence, helping them recover the financial resources they need for long-term care, rehabilitation, and independence.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Philadelphia
Spinal cord injuries are often the result of sudden trauma or high-impact accidents. The most frequent causes include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Slip and fall or trip and fall incidents
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Acts of violence or assault
- Sports-related injuries
- Medical malpractice or surgical errors
When negligence or carelessness leads to a spinal cord injury, our team fights aggressively to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord plays a critical role in controlling sensation and movement. Damage to it can have catastrophic effects. Our Philadelphia spinal cord injury lawyers handle cases involving:
- Complete spinal cord injuries, resulting in full paralysis
- Incomplete spinal cord injuries, leading to partial loss of function
- Quadriplegia (tetraplegia) — paralysis in all four limbs
- Paraplegia — paralysis in the lower body
- Herniated or fractured vertebrae
- Nerve compression or spinal trauma
Even partial spinal damage can permanently change a person’s life. We fight to ensure your recovery accounts for every aspect of that impact.

A spinal injury often affects both physical and emotional health. Victims may experience:
- Loss of movement or sensation below the injury site
