After a Spinal Cord Injury: Why the Right Lawyer Makes All the Difference
A spinal cord injury changes everything. Whether caused by a motor vehicle collision, a fall, or another serious accident, the effects are often immediate, severe, and permanent. Paralysis, loss of mobility, chronic pain, and profound lifestyle adjustments can follow. It is not just the injured person who is affected—entire families must learn to adapt, care, and plan for an entirely different future.
In such devastating circumstances, choosing the right personal injury lawyer is critical. At Auger Hollingsworth, we understand the complexity and gravity of spinal cord injury claims. These are not ordinary personal injury cases. They require specialized knowledge, deep resources, and a legal team that can handle not only the law, but the long-term impact of a catastrophic injury.
Catastrophic Injury Cases Require a Long-Term View
Spinal cord injuries often fall under Ontario’s definition of a “catastrophic impairment.” This designation can unlock significantly more benefits through your accident benefits insurer, but qualifying requires expert medical evidence and careful legal work.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we know how to position your case for a catastrophic designation when appropriate. We work closely with top medical specialists, occupational therapists, life care planners, and economic experts to project the full scope of your future needs.
From home modifications and assistive technology to long-term attendant care, rehabilitation, and income replacement, your claim must reflect not just what you’ve lost, but what you will need for the rest of your life.
You Need a Legal Team That Understands the System—and Fights Within It
These are high-stakes claims, often met with resistance from insurance companies seeking to reduce payouts. Insurers will scrutinize every aspect of your life and condition. Your lawyer must be experienced, organized, and unshakably committed to advocating for you.
Auger Hollingsworth has been representing seriously injured clients in Ontario for over two decades. We are known for our preparation, persistence, and results. We do not take shortcuts, and we do not rush toward settlements that don’t reflect the true impact of a spinal cord injury.
