- Loss of income ”“ If you are unable to work due to a spinal cord injury, lost wages may be included in the recovery of your damages.
- Loss of future earnings ”“ When you become permanently or partially disabled, you may not be able to return to work ”“ or you may need to change the type of work you do. These damages cover any income you would have been able to make in the future had you not been injured.
- Pain and suffering ”“ Calculating the pain and suffering a spinal cord injury victim experiences is challenging, so it is important that you have an experienced attorney working on your behalf.
- Special home adjustments ”“ If you need in-home adjustments to improve your mobility or to help you better manage the injuries resulting from the incident, these costs may also be reasonably covered.

Is There a Deadline For Filing a Lawsuit in Arizona?
Arizona does have a strict two-year deadline for injury victims wanting to file a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, you have two years from the date you were injured to file a lawsuit. There may be cases when you may have to file sooner or when a deadline could be extended.
This is why we recommend that you have an experienced legal team on your side to help ensure that you do not miss an important deadline. Personal injury cases take time and can easily become very complicated.
What Can Phillips Law Group Do To Help Me?
Injury victims that hire legal representation are more likely to end up with a higher compensation than compared to injury victims who decide to go through the legal process alone.
Spinal cord injuries can greatly affect victims and their families. Spending time, energy and resources to manage a claim in-between doctor visits and physical therapy can be overwhelming. If we represent you, we will investigate your incident, gather evidence to prove negligence, file all the necessary paperwork, communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf and work hard to protect your best interests.
Do not put your claim at risk. We welcome the opportunity to see how we may be able to help.

Commonly Seen Spinal Cord Injuries
The type of spinal cord injury a victim sustains depends on many factors, including the severity of the impact after an incident. Here are some of the most common types of spinal cord injuries:
Serious Injuries
Serious spinal cord injuries may result from a slip and fall accident, car crash or medical malpractice, amongst other incidents. These injuries are acute and may be life-altering, and could include:
- Fractured or dislocated vertebrae ”“ If an initial impact cracks or breaks a bone, or tears a ligament, the damage can be painful and long-lasting, and may require long-term medical care.
- Bulging or herniated discs ”“ These occur when a cushioned joint in the vertebrae expands to the point where it begins to apply pressure on the nerves of the spine. It is often accompanied by burning or shooting pain running down the legs.
- Sprain and strain injuries ”“ These injuries can happen when the muscles or tendons that support the spine are suddenly and unexpectedly pulled or twisted in an unnatural manner.
Overuse Injuries
An overuse injury may sound minor, but for a victim, it can be excruciating to the point of interrupting his or her ability to get through the day, concentrate on work or even get out of bed. These could include:
- Muscle spasms ”“ For those who suffer from muscle spasms, simply moving in the wrong direction too quickly can set off a spasm, causing immediate and sharp pain for the victim.
- Stiffness ”“ This type of injury results from muscles being too tense or tight following an injury and may require extensive physical therapy.

Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
