Royal Oak Spinal Cord Injury Compensation
Pursuing Justice for Clients in the Detroit Metro Area with Catastrophic Back Injuries
A spinal cord injury can permanently alter how a person moves through the world. The legal claim that follows needs to reflect that reality rather than treating it as an ordinary injury case.
At Garrison Law, we know that a spinal cord injury affects mobility, independence, and often a person's entire family structure. Our catastrophic injury team combines detailed medical documentation with genuine compassion, working to secure compensation that accounts for a lifetime of impact rather than a single moment.

Cases that Commonly Involve Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries arise from a wide range of incidents, and our approach shifts depending on how the injury happened and who bears responsibility.
We regularly represent clients whose injuries resulted from:
- Motor vehicle and motorcycle accidents. Often involving high-impact forces, these cases require early documentation of the crash mechanics alongside the medical response.
- Trucking accidents. Commercial vehicle cases frequently involve corporate defendants and multiple layers of insurance, requiring a more complex investigation.
- Workplace and industrial accidents. These cases often intersect with workers' compensation, and we help clients understand when a separate personal injury claim may also apply.
- Slip-and-fall and premises liability incidents. Establishing a property owner's negligence is central to recovering compensation in these cases.
- Defective products and equipment failures. When faulty equipment causes a spinal injury, we investigate design and manufacturing history to build a product liability claim.
Regardless of the cause, our attorneys start by identifying every party whose negligence contributed to the injury, since spinal cord cases often involve more than one responsible party.

Local Legal Factors That Shape Our Cases
Spinal cord injury claims in Michigan run into legal nuances that don't apply to smaller injury cases. Under our state's no-fault insurance system, recovering non-economic damages like pain and suffering requires meeting a "serious impairment of body function" threshold, a bar that spinal cord injuries typically clear, but one that still requires our attorneys to gather careful medical documentation to satisfy. Michigan's modified comparative negligence rule can also reduce your recovery if you're found partially at fault, making it critical to build a case that clearly establishes the other party's responsibility from the outset.
Statutes of limitations add another layer of urgency, since waiting too long to pursue a claim can forfeit your right to compensation entirely. Our attorneys stay ahead of these deadlines and requirements so that a technicality never stands between our clients and the recovery they're owed.
