When the spine is damaged, every part of life can be affected—from basic mobility to long-term independence. Whether the injury results in chronic pain or permanent paralysis, the physical and financial toll is often staggering. At Malloy Law Offices, our Hyattsville spinal injury attorney helps victims and families navigate the aftermath of serious back or neck trauma with clarity, compassion, and a focus on full compensation.
The spinal cord and surrounding structures play a central role in the body’s function. When injured, they present challenges that go far beyond what’s visible on an X-ray. These cases often involve:
Difficult diagnoses involving soft tissue or nerve damage
Long-term rehabilitation and assistive care
Disputes over causation, especially in prior-injury cases
Substantial lost income or job retraining needs
Psychological challenges, including depression and anxiety
We work closely with orthopedic specialists, neurosurgeons, and rehabilitation experts to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your condition—not just what shows up in the initial ER report.
Spinal trauma can occur in nearly any serious accident. We represent clients whose injuries were caused by:
Motor vehicle collisions (rear-end, high-speed, or multi-vehicle)
Falls from heights on job sites or unsafe properties
Workplace incidents involving lifting, falls, or equipment failure
Sports injuries, especially in contact or high-impact settings
Assaults or acts of violence
Slip and fall accidents in commercial or residential areas
If someone’s negligence created the conditions that caused your injury, we’ll identify them—and hold them legally accountable.
No two spinal injuries are exactly the same. Some are treatable with rest and therapy; others result in lifelong impairment. We assist clients suffering from:
Herniated or bulging discs
Compression fractures and vertebral injuries
Nerve root damage or spinal cord impingement
Incomplete or complete paralysis
Spinal stenosis resulting from trauma
Cauda equina syndrome
Chronic pain with unclear imaging findings
Even injuries that don’t involve paralysis can have a massive impact on your daily life—and your claim should reflect that reality.
Spinal injury claims often involve future-looking damages, not just reimbursement for past medical bills. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
Emergency care, imaging, and surgical intervention
Ongoing physical therapy or mobility retraining
Assistive devices (braces, wheelchairs, mobility aids)
In-home care or home modifications for accessibility
Lost income and reduced future earning ability
Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional
Permanent disability or diminished quality of life
Psychological counseling or support services
We bring in life care planners and economic experts to build a case that accounts for your entire journey—not just what happened on day one.
Determining fault is essential to securing compensation. We conduct a full investigation to identify any parties whose negligence contributed to your injury, including:
At-fault drivers in traffic collisions
Employers or contractors in workplace accidents
Property owners who failed to address safety hazards
Equipment manufacturers in cases involving defective products
Security providers or third-party vendors on unsafe premises
We pursue every responsible party—because a stronger claim starts with a complete picture of liability.
