Spinal injuries are among the most devastating injuries anyone can suffer. Whether the result of a fall, a car accident, or an act of violence, damage to the spinal cord or surrounding structures can result in chronic pain, mobility loss, or even permanent paralysis. At Malloy Law Offices, our Del Ray spinal injury attorney fights for those whose lives have been upended by negligence—and we work tirelessly to recover the compensation they need to adapt, recover, and move forward.
Your spine is central to nearly every movement your body makes. When it’s damaged, the consequences can ripple across your entire life. Common types of spinal injuries include:
Herniated or Bulging Discs – Often caused by trauma, these can compress nerves and cause significant pain or weakness.
Spinal Fractures – Breaks in the vertebrae that can destabilize the spine and require bracing or surgery.
Nerve Root Compression – Pressure on spinal nerves that may cause radiating pain down the arms or legs.
Complete or Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries – Which may lead to paraplegia or quadriplegia depending on the location and severity of the injury.
Even less severe injuries can result in long-term discomfort, limited mobility, and the need for significant rehabilitation.
In a neighborhood like Del Ray—where walking, biking, and driving all converge in close quarters—spinal injuries happen more often than people realize. Our team routinely handles cases involving:
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, particularly rear-end or rollover collisions
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents, where victims have no protection from impact
Slip and falls, especially on stairs, icy sidewalks, or poorly maintained walkways
Workplace accidents, including falls from ladders or scaffolding
Violent assaults, including gunshot wounds or blunt trauma
Bus or transit-related incidents, where passengers can be thrown during sudden stops
No matter the cause, if negligence contributed to your injury, our Del Ray spinal injury lawyers are ready to help.
Spinal injuries don’t just result in short-term pain—they often lead to a lifetime of medical care, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional hardship. Depending on the location and severity, victims may face:
Partial or full paralysis (paraplegia/quadriplegia)
Chronic pain and nerve damage
Loss of bowel or bladder control
Sexual dysfunction
Loss of independence or need for assistive devices
Emotional trauma such as anxiety or depression
Career disruption or total loss of employment
We work closely with specialists, vocational experts, and life care planners to ensure the total impact of your injury is recognized and compensated.
Living with a spinal injury is expensive—and the financial burden shouldn’t fall on the victim. Our attorneys will fight to recover compensation for:
Emergency and ongoing medical care
Spinal surgery, rehabilitation, and pain management
Lost income and future earning potential
Home and vehicle modifications (e.g., wheelchair ramps, lifts)
In-home caregiving or nursing support
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death damages, if your loved one died as a result of a spinal injury
