Michigan Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers Advocating For Your Best Interests
At Mabbitt Bhimani Law, we understand the profound impact spinal cord injuries can have on your life and the lives of your loved ones. Even without substantial paralysis, spinal injuries can be life-changing – and expensive. So many spinal injuries result in at least some paralysis. That could mean years of rehabilitation and nursing care.
We know how difficult everything seems right now. We are attorneys Anne Mabbitt and Sam Bhimani, and we have worked with other people who have experienced catastrophic accidents. We know how to help. We can take on the burden of seeking appropriate compensation for your injuries and losses.
In some cases, spinal cord injuries are due to someone’s negligence or wrongdoing. If someone else was responsible for your injury, they should be held accountable for everything it cost you.
That includes the medical costs you have already incurred, along with any future medical costs, rehabilitation and mental health care you will need. It also includes your lost wages and lost earning capacity. And it includes your pain, suffering and damage to your quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spinal Cord Injuries
As Michigan personal injury attorneys who deal with spinal cord injuries, we have heard many questions from clients and potential clients. Here are some common ones and their basic answers.
What are the different types of back and spinal cord injuries?
Spinal cord injuries can be categorized as complete and incomplete, which can result in differing levels of paralysis and functional loss.
In a complete spinal cord injury, there is no function below the location of the injury. In incomplete spinal cord injuries, there is some remaining function below the location of the injury.
Paraplegia and quadriplegia (tetraplegia) are examples of complete spinal cord injuries. Examples of incomplete spinal cord injuries include anterior cord syndrome, central cord syndrome and Brown-Séquard syndrome.
Whatever your diagnosis, you will need immediate treatment to minimize the impact of the injury, along with treatment and rehabilitation afterward. In every case, there is hope.
When can you file suit over a spinal cord injury?
You can file a lawsuit if your spinal cord injury was due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness or wrongdoing. Even if you were partly (but not mostly) at fault, you may still be due compensation for your injury.
Talk to our experienced spinal cord injury lawyers as soon as possible while the evidence and witnesses’ memories are as fresh as possible.
Who can be held liable for back or spinal cord injuries in Michigan?
It depends on the exact circumstances and who was responsible for the injury. In a car accident, for example, you could hold the other driver and their insurance company liable. In other cases, the person responsible may have been careless or reckless in their action or inaction and caused the injury, making them liable for it.
It really depends on what happened and if someone’s action or inaction caused your injury.
