Phoenix spinal cord injury attorneys

SCI cases in Phoenix demand life-care planning, vocational analysis, and trial-ready preparation. Big Dog Law builds Phoenix spinal-cord-injury cases that fund what the next 40 years actually cost.

A spinal cord injury rewrites every part of life — work, mobility, relationships, housing, transportation, and decades of medical needs. The legal case has to do the same kind of rewriting. Phoenix SCI cases typically follow freeway crashes, motorcycle wrecks, falls in commercial or apartment settings, and (less often but devastating when they happen) medical events. The early offer in these cases is almost always wrong — sometimes by an order of magnitude. We build Phoenix SCI files to fund what the next 40 years of care will actually cost.

Phoenix SCI basics

  • SCI cases involve damages that compound over decades — early settlements rarely reflect what care actually costs.
  • Most Arizona personal injury claims have a 2-year statute of limitations.
  • If a public entity (City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, ADOT, Valley Metro, ASU, etc.) may share responsibility, the 180-day Notice of Claim rule applies.
  • Damages are not capped under the Arizona Constitution.

Common Phoenix SCI causes

  • Freeway and arterial crashes

    I-10, I-17, Loop 101 / 202, US-60. High-speed collisions are the largest source of SCI in the metro.

  • Motorcycle wrecks

    One of the most common SCI mechanisms in the Valley — particularly in lane-change and intersection cases.

  • Falls

    Construction-site falls, balcony failures at apartments, and severe falls at retail and resort properties.

  • Sports and recreation

    Diving, ATV, and recreational-equipment injuries — particularly in rental and rental-pool contexts.

  • Medical events

    Surgical positioning errors, anesthesia complications, and missed signs of evolving cord injury.

  • Pool and diving incidents

    Particularly in apartment and resort pools with shallow depth or inadequate signage.

What an SCI case actually has to fund

  • Acute and rehabilitation care

    ICU, trauma surgery, inpatient rehabilitation, and the months of follow-up that come after discharge.

  • Lifelong attendant care

    Depending on injury level, this can range from intermittent assistance to 24-hour care — and it accumulates fast over decades.

  • Durable medical equipment

    Power chairs, transfer equipment, vehicle modifications, home modifications — replaced and serviced over a lifetime.

  • Lost income and earning capacity

    Often substantial — vocational experts model what the client could have earned but for the injury.

  • Pain, suffering, and loss of life enjoyment

    A specifically recognized component of damages, not capped under Arizona law.
