Sometimes the break involves the spinal cord or nerve roots. The result can be permanent pain, loss of feeling, loss of bladder or bowel control, or <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for people and families whose spine was seriously fractured. This may have happened in a truck crash, a fall from height, or a violent attack the property owner should have stopped. If you now face lasting harm, you&#8217;re in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based firm built around catastrophic injuries. We serve clients in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and nationwide. We offer support in both English and Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>This page covers <strong>serious, permanent spinal fractures<\/strong>.

Here is what the terms on your chart really mean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The three regions of your spine.<\/strong> Doctors describe your injury by level. They use a letter and a number, such as &#8220;C5&#8221; or &#8220;L1.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cervical (C1\u2013C7)<\/strong> \u2014 the neck. Injuries here are often the most severe. They can affect the arms, legs, and breathing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thoracic (T1\u2013T12)<\/strong> \u2014 the mid-back, behind the chest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lumbar (L1\u2013L5)<\/strong> \u2014 the lower back, where many high-energy fractures land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The fracture types we handle.<\/strong> These involve the spinal cord, instability, or major surgery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Burst fractures<\/strong> \u2014 the vertebra shatters. Bone pieces can be driven into the spinal canal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fracture-dislocations<\/strong> \u2014 the bone breaks <em>and<\/em> shifts out of place. This is one of the most unstable patterns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chance (flexion-distraction) fractures<\/strong> \u2014 the vertebra pulls apart sideways. This often comes from a lap belt in a high-speed crash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compression fractures<\/strong> that involve the spinal cord or a nerve.<\/li>\n<li>Unstable fractures that need <strong>spinal fusion<\/strong>. This is surgery that joins vertebrae together with rods and screws (called instrumentation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Complete vs. incomplete.<\/strong> This one difference shapes your recovery and your lifetime needs. Per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/spinal-cord-injury\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20377890\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, a <em>complete<\/em> injury means you lose all feeling and movement below the injury. An <em>incomplete<\/em> injury means some feeling or movement remains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The AIS \/ ISNCSCI grade.<\/strong> In the hospital, a clinician likely gave you an exam. It scored your muscle strength and feeling. That exam is the <a href=\"https:\/\/asia-spinalinjury.org\/international-standards-neurological-classification-sci-isncsci\/\">International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord<\/a> Injury (ISNCSCI). It is kept up to date by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA). The exam gives an <strong>ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) grade from A to E<\/strong>. <strong>AIS A<\/strong> is a complete injury. <strong>AIS E<\/strong> means normal function. That grade, and where it lands weeks later, shapes your care plan and the value of a claim.<\/p>\n<p>We handle only permanent, life-altering spine injuries. To learn more, see our pages on <a href=\"\/resources\/catastrophic-back-and-neck-injuries\/\">catastrophic back and neck injuries<\/a>, <a href=\"\/resources\/spinal-cord-injuries\/\">spinal cord injuries<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/resources\/paralysis-paraplegia-quadriplegia\/\">paralysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How These Injuries Happen \u2014 and When Someone Else Is Responsible<\/h2>\n<p>Many catastrophic spinal fractures happen because someone else was careless. When that&#8217;s true, the at-fault party may owe you money.<\/p>\n<p>Common causes we see include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Truck and large commercial-vehicle crashes.<\/strong> A loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. That weight against a passenger car is enough to shatter vertebrae. See our <a href=\"\/resources\/truck-accidents\/\">truck accidents<\/a> page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High-speed crashes and rollovers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Falls from height<\/strong> at construction sites, from unsafe balconies, or down poorly kept stairwells.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical negligence<\/strong> that causes or worsens a spinal fracture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s another cause many people don&#8217;t expect: being <strong>hurt during an attack on someone else&#8217;s property<\/strong>. Maybe you were shot, beaten, robbed, or sexually assaulted. This may have happened at an apartment complex, a parking garage, a hotel, a bar, or a gas station. If the owner had ignored broken gates and locks, dark lighting, missing cameras, or no security guards, that failure may have made the attack possible.<\/p>\n<p>The legal term for this is <strong>negligent security<\/strong>. It is a type of premises liability claim brought against the property owner. You don&#8217;t need to know the term to have a case. You only need to have been seriously hurt because the property wasn&#8217;t kept reasonably safe. Learn more on our negligent security page.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,#900000);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

These cases are expensive. The harm often lasts for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Compensation we typically seek includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medical care<\/strong> \u2014 emergency surgery, hospital and ICU stays, and future procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rehabilitation and therapy<\/strong>, plus in-home nursing care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assistive equipment<\/strong> and home or vehicle changes (ramps, wheelchair-accessible vans, adaptive controls).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost income<\/strong> and reduced earning power if you can&#8217;t return to work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrongful-death and survival claims<\/strong> when a spinal injury is fatal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a loved one dies from their injuries, the family may bring a wrongful-death claim. We handle these cases with care and dignity, focused on the family left behind. See our wrongful death page.<\/p>\n<p>To prove the true cost, we work with <strong>life-care planners, treating doctors and medical experts, economists, and accident-reconstruction specialists<\/strong>. A life-care plan turns your ASIA grade and future needs into a clear, itemized list of costs.<\/p>\n<p>Every case is different. Outcomes depend on the facts, and no lawyer can lawfully promise a result.<\/p>\n<h2>The Florida Deadlines and Fault Rules You Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p>Two Florida rules affect nearly every spinal injury claim. Both changed recently. Getting them wrong can cost you your case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A two-year filing deadline.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>, most negligence claims that began <strong>on or after March 24, 2023, must be filed within two years<\/strong>. (Claims from before that date usually fall under the older four-year window.) Medical-negligence and wrongful-death claims have their own timelines. The correct deadline depends on your date and type of injury. Confirm it with a lawyer early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modified comparative fault.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>, if you share some blame, your recovery drops by your share of fault. But since the 2023 change, a person found <strong>more than 50% at fault usually recovers nothing.<\/strong> So how fault gets divided is not a small detail. It can decide whether you recover at all.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free case evaluation.<\/strong> We listen and review what happened. We tell you honestly whether you may have a claim. No cost, no obligation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation.<\/strong> We gather crash reports, medical and imaging records, property and security records, and witness statements. We move fast to save evidence like surveillance footage before it&#8217;s erased.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building the case.<\/strong> We find every responsible party and every source of insurance. Then we bring in the medical and financial experts above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demand and negotiation.<\/strong> We show the insurers the full documented value of your losses. We push for a fair result.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Litigation and trial.<\/strong> If no fair offer comes, we are ready to take your case to court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>You pay nothing upfront.<\/strong> We work on a <strong>contingency fee<\/strong>. That means our fee is a percentage of what we recover. You generally owe no attorney&#8217;s fee unless we get money for you. We explain the fee and any case costs in writing before you sign.<\/p>\n<p>Serious cases take time. The full extent of a spinal injury can take months to become clear as your ASIA grade settles.
