Spinal cord injuries are often serious and life-changing and may result in months or even years of suffering. In addition to the pain and suffering, victims and their families also face ongoing extensive and costly medical treatments.
At Phillips Law Group, our spinal cord injury attorneys understand the emotional and financial burden this places on a victim and his or her family. Our firm has been helping injured victims in Arizona for over 27 years. We have recovered hundreds of millions in damages for the more than 155,000 clients we have represented. This includes a $4 million settlement we obtained for an accident victim who suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident.
We are prepared to review your potential spinal cord injury claim in a free legal consultation to determine whether you may be eligible to pursue a claim. If your case has merit and we represent you, we do not require you to pay any upfront fees. We only get paid if we help you recover compensation.
We are available day and night, online or by phone: 1-800-706-3000 .
Am I Eligible to File a Claim?
If your spinal cord injury was the result of another person’s negligence, or the negligence of a product manufacturer, you may have grounds to pursue a lawsuit. However, the burden of proof is on you, and it is challenging to prove that the at-fault party is liable for your injuries. That is why we recommend reaching out to one of our experienced Peoria spinal cord injury attorneys who have extensive knowledge about spinal cord injury claims.
If you have a valid case, our attorneys at Phillips Law Group know how to establish these four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care ”“ The at-fault driver owed you a duty to act in a reasonable way that would prevent you or others from suffering an injury.
- The duty of care was breached ”“ The responsible driver failed to uphold his or her legal duty by acting in a negligent, careless or reckless manner.
- The breach of duty and your injury are connected ”“ The at-fault party’s negligence caused the accident that injured you.
- You suffered damages ”“ You suffered tangible damages, such as pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses.

What Is the Value of My Case?
Each spinal cord injury case is different. We can tell you more about the potential value of a claim after assessing the unique circumstances that caused your accident and the extent of your injuries. In general, however, the types of compensation you may be able to pursue include:
Lost Wages ”“ Injured victims are often unable to work following the accident that caused their spinal cord injury.
Loss of Earning Capacity ”“ Additional compensation for those who are unable to return to the same line of work or may be permanently unable to work.
Medical Expenses ”“ Past, present and future medical care may be required for months or even a lifetime for some victims.
Pain and Suffering – Spinal cord injuries can lead to a lifetime of pain and emotional distress. This is a less tangible type of compensation, but your attorney knows how to accurately calculate a fair value.
Home modifications ”“ For some spinal cord injury victims, a home may need to be modified to enable better mobility.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim?
Spinal cord injury victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, there are some exceptions to this rule that may affect your filing deadline. In some cases, you may have to file much sooner, so we encourage you to seek legal advice without delay. If you miss this deadline, you may be barred from court and prohibited from seeking any compensation for your injury.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

A friend of mine recommended Phillips Law and I’m so grateful, because they were so wonderful, so down to earth, so professional. I felt like they were family.

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
