After a spinal cord injury, you may need support with mobility, communication, and basic daily tasks. That could include equipment like wheelchairs, transfer lifts, or voice tools, as well as regular rehab and therapy to rebuild strength and coordination. Our firm works closely with doctors and care teams to estimate what your day-to-day support may look like down the road. This helps us make sure your case includes the tools and services you will need; not just now, but in the years ahead.

It is common for someone in your household to step in and provide daily help after a spinal cord injury. That might mean dressing, feeding, bathing, or simply being nearby to assist with movement or care. When a loved one takes on that kind of responsibility, it deserves to be acknowledged. A spinal cord injury lawyer in Dallas with Goff Law, PLLC can make sure that caregiving is included when we talk about how this injury has changed your life. The general two-year deadline for filing is set by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, but starting early gives us time to include every detail that matters.

Spinal cord injuries are expensive to treat, and insurance companies know that. Instead of offering real support, they often look for ways to protect their bottom line. That might mean blaming you for the injury, calling your symptoms into question, or sending a low offer when you need help the most. You may run into tactics like:

• Requesting an independent medical exam
• Delaying responses to your claim
• Mischaracterizing your symptoms
• Undervaluing the cost of in-home care
• Blaming a pre-existing condition
• Using social media posts against you
• Selecting only certain surveillance clips
• Minimizing the need for assistive equipment

These tactics can wear you down, especially when you are already dealing with physical and emotional stress. We have worked inside the insurance system, so we know how claims get picked apart and why some companies try to delay or reduce payments. Under Texas Insurance Code § 541.060, insurers who use unfair settlement practices can be held accountable, and we make sure that is part of the negotiations from the start.

These cases often call for support from people beyond your medical team. We work with care planners, therapists, and specialists who help us show how your injury affects every part of your life. From the beginning, we focus on what you need now and what you may need later.

Spinal injuries often happen during falls, car accidents, or unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Even when the cause seems clear, there may be several people or decisions that made the situation worse. We take time to piece together what happened so we can explain how the injury could have been avoided. This matters when responsibility is shared between individuals, companies, or other parties.

Spinal trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and other catastrophic injuries do not end when the bills are paid. Many of our clients need ongoing support with care, housing, or daily activities that may last for years. Your Dallas spinal cord injury attorney with Goff Law, PLLC works with trusted financial professionals to figure out what future care may cost and who should be responsible for it. We also review whether any medical providers failed to report unsafe care, which could affect your case under Texas Occupations Code § 160.002. This statute requires doctors and other professionals to speak up when patient safety is at risk; and if that did not happen, it may have made your situation worse.
