In the Chandler and East Valley area, some of the most frequent causes of spinal cord injury that our personal injury lawyers handle include:
Car accidents and truck collisions along major arterials such as I-10, Loop 202, and Loop 101. Vehicles involved in high-speed or side‐impact crashes often cause severe spinal and neck trauma.
Motorcycle accidents, which carry a heightened risk of spinal cord injury due to minimal protection and higher impact forces.
Workplace accidents in construction sites, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs around Chandler, including falls from height, machinery malfunctions, or forklift accidents.
Slip-and-fall or premises-liability incidents at retail, residential, or commercial properties in Chandler, leading to neck/back trauma, spinal fractures, and cord damage.
Medical malpractice or surgical errors affecting the spine (for example, during surgery or other invasive medical treatment) that result in spinal cord injury or worsening of an existing condition.
Sports or recreational accidents, including off-road vehicle (ORV) and ATV mishaps, falls or collisions at local parks, or mishaps at aquatic facilities in the Chandler area.
Wrongful death cases when a spinal cord injury leads to catastrophic consequences requiring coordinated investigation, and possibly a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of surviving family members.
Our personal injury attorneys are experienced in reviewing all of these scenarios. We assist accident victims and families in gathering evidence, identifying the responsible party or parties, assessing liability, and pursuing compensation through insurance claims or litigation as needed.
The most recent national estimate puts annual traumatic spinal cord injury incidence at about 54 cases per 1 million people, or 18,421 new cases each year, per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center “Facts & Figures 2025.”
The estimated number of people living with traumatic SCI in the United States is 308,620 (range: 259,374–393,913), according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.
Vehicle crashes and falls account for nearly 70% of recent SCI cases, and about 78% of new cases are male, based on the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center data sheet (2025).
The average age at injury is 44 years (up from 29 in the 1970s), reflecting demographic shifts documented by the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.
For local context, Chandler’s population is estimated at 281,231 (July 1, 2024), per U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, a growing community with high-volume traffic corridors where serious injuries can occur.
For plain-language clinical context in your page (e.g., a short sidebar/tooltip defining SCI), you can reference NINDS (NIH), which explains what a spinal cord injury is and how it affects the body.
A spinal cord injury can dramatically change the course of your life, affecting mobility, independence, employment, personal relationships, and future medical needs. Here’s what injured victims and families in Chandler should know about their legal rights:
To pursue a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim, it’s essential to establish that someone else’s negligence (or intentional misconduct) caused your injury. Possible responsible parties may include:
A negligent driver (e.g., a drunk driver, speeding, distracted driving)
A truck or commercial vehicle operator or company
A property owner or manager who failed to maintain safe conditions (leading to a dangerous fall)
A manufacturer of defective equipment or vehicle parts
A workplace employer that failed to enforce safety rules or provide proper training
A health-care provider whose negligence or medical malpractice caused a spinal injury
Our Chandler personal injury attorneys have experience investigating these types of claims, gathering evidence, consulting experts, and determining who is legally responsible.
When pursuing fair compensation under Arizona law, injury victims may recover damages for:
Past and future medical expenses, including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, assistive devices, and home modifications.
Lost wages and future earning capacity due to inability to work or reduced ability to earn.
Costs of physical therapy, long-term care or attendant care, and loss of independent living.
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
Property damage (if applicable) and other out-of-pocket costs.
In wrongful death cases (if the spine injury leads to death), families may have legal options to pursue compensation for loss of life, funeral expenses, and related damages.
Insurance companies representing a negligent party often attempt to limit payment or deny full legal responsibility. It’s important to have experienced personal injury lawyers who understand how insurers operate, can navigate the claim process, negotiate firmly, and are prepared to take your case to trial if required.
At Harris Injury Law, we handle spinal cord injury claims on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. We keep our commitment to transparency and personalised attention.
In Arizona, you must act within a certain timeframe (“statute of limitations”) to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline may forfeit your right to compensation. Our personal injury attorneys will make sure deadlines are met and your legal options are preserved.
At Harris Injury Law, our dedicated team is prepared to guide injury victims in Chandler through every step of a spinal cord injury claim. Here’s how we work:
Free consultation: We begin with a no-cost, no-obligation meeting where you can discuss your spinal cord injury case, ask questions, and learn about your legal options.
Investigation & evidence gathering: We immediately begin gathering critical evidence: accident reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, vehicle data, expert opinions, life-care plans, and more.
Medical coordination & treatment review: Spinal cord injury claims require understanding of long-term medical implications. We work alongside your medical providers, rehabilitation specialists, and life-care planners to fully assess your future needs.
Damage calculation & negotiation: Using our experience in personal injury and workers’ compensation, we calculate your past and future damages, lost wages, life-care costs, and other losses. We then negotiate with the insurance company to seek fair compensation under the law.
Litigation readiness: If the responsible party or insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court in Chandler, Phoenix, or Maricopa County.
Personalized support: We provide regular updates, take time to answer your questions, and ensure you feel supported by our legal team and support staff during this challenging time.
