Alexandria Back & Spinal Cord Injuries

Back and Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers in Alexandria, Louisiana

A back or spinal cord injury doesn’t just hurt. It changes how you move, how you work, and how you get through a single day. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you shouldn’t face the physical and financial fallout alone.

Roy Injury Law represents people with serious back and spinal cord injuries in Alexandria and Central Louisiana. We investigate what happened and pursue compensation for treatment, lost income, and lasting disability.

Who we help

You may be in the right place if you or someone you love suffered a back or spinal cord injury because:

• A car accident caused a herniated disc, fractured vertebra, or spinal cord damage.
• A rear-end collision seemed minor, but now you have neck or back pain that won’t go away.
• You slipped and fell on a wet floor, broken step, or uneven surface at a store, apartment complex, or other property.
• A truck or 18-wheeler accident compressed or fractured your spine.
• A construction or industrial accident caused a serious back injury or partial paralysis.
• A fall from scaffolding, a ladder, or equipment damaged your spine.
• Medical negligence during a procedure or surgery caused nerve damage or a spinal injury.
• You were hit by a vehicle while walking or riding a bicycle.

If someone else’s carelessness played a role, it’s worth talking about your rights before more time passes.

Common back and spinal cord injuries

Herniated or bulging discs. A disc that slips or ruptures can press on nerves, causing sharp pain, weakness, or numbness that radiates into the arms or legs. Treatment may include surgery, physical therapy, or long-term pain management.

Vertebral fractures. A broken vertebra often results from high-impact crashes or falls. Compression fractures can be very painful and may put pressure on the spinal cord.

Spinal cord damage. Partial or complete damage to the spinal cord can cause loss of sensation, loss of movement, or paralysis below the injury.

Nerve damage. Even without spinal cord damage, compressed or torn nerves can cause chronic pain, numbness, or loss of function in the hands, arms, legs, or feet.

How these injuries affect your life

You may be dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, mounting medical bills, lost income, and the emotional strain of a sudden life change. These effects are real, and they belong in your legal claim.

Not every back injury has the same cause or outcome. We review your prior condition, symptoms, imaging, treatment, and the medical evidence connecting the injury, or the worsening of an existing condition, to the accident.

Compensation you may be entitled to

When another party’s negligence caused your injury, Louisiana law allows you to seek compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Disability and long-term care costs
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of normal daily activities and quality of life

Workplace injuries may involve workers’ compensation, a claim against a third party, or both, depending on the facts.
