    The Impact of a Spinal Cord Injury

    Spinal cord injuries and paralysis occur when the spinal cord is damaged, often due to a car accident, a serious fall, a workplace incident, or another traumatic event. 

    There are two main types of SCIs:

    • Complete SCIs: These cause a total loss of sensory and motor function below the injury site.
    • Incomplete SCIs: Some sensory or motor functions remain below the injury site.

    The location of the injury on the spinal cord greatly affects the severity of the impact. For example, injuries to the cervical spine (neck area) can result in quadriplegia, affecting all four limbs. Injuries to the thoracic or lumbar spine may lead to paraplegia, impacting the lower half of the body.

    People with spinal cord injuries may face a range of challenges, such as:

    • Loss of movement
    • Altered sensation, making it difficult to feel heat, cold, or touch
    • Loss of bowel or bladder control
    • Heightened reflexes
    • Muscle spasms

    Additionally, these injuries can affect sexual function, sensitivity, and fertility. Many people also endure pain or a sharp, stinging sensation caused by nerve damage, along with difficulty breathing, coughing, or clearing their lungs.

    Meet the Team Behind Every Case

    From intake to trial, every person on this team plays a part in getting you the outcome you deserve.

    Behind every case file is a full team working on your behalf: case managers, paralegals, and support staff who answer your calls, track down your records, and keep you in the loop every step of the way. We built this firm to feel less like a law office and more like a neighbor you can count on. That starts with hiring people who care, and it shows in how we treat every client who walks through our door.

      I would not hesitate to use Chris Soileau again.
      “My car was hit by a guy who was racing down the highway. The impact forced my vehicle into a retaining wall. At the time I was between jobs and Mr. Soileau helped me find medical care. Ultimately, Chris obtained a great settlement for my case.”
      - S.J.
      Within no time, Chris and his staff settled my case.
      “A couple of months ago I was in a car accident. High property damage, but the insurance was not cooperating with me. I hired Chris Soileau to take over. Highly recommend!”
      - Past Client
      I felt it wasn't about the money he was making but the concern for me and my son's loss.
      “I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”
      - Paul R.
      Very professional and quick results.
      “Thanks to attorney Skylar who handled my case. I love this firm.”
      - Past Client
      They give you one on one attention, and any question you have, they are able to answer.
      “I've been in a couple of car accidents and have been lucky enough to have Chris Soileau as my attorney. They have helped me through these tough times and I am forever thankful. I definitely recommend.”
      - Jessica B.
      Chris Soileau made everything very easy for me from start to finish.
      “It was my first time being in a bad accident and I did not know much about the process. They answered all my questions and updated me as we went. I was very well compensated and highly recommend them.”
      - Lisa P.
      Mr. Soileau was able to obtain a substantial settlement and negotiate my medical bills
      “Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”
      - J.N.
      Great result after my accident with a dump truck.
      “It was a longer process than I expected but worked out great in the end. Thanks again!”
      - Past Client
      Thank you thank you thank you! You changed my life.
      “Chris and his wife have handled several accidents for me throughout the years. The staff is always so nice to me. My last case they got me a $38,000 settlement. Picked up my check today.”
