Few injuries can alter the course of a life as abruptly as a spinal cord injury. A momentary accident can disrupt mobility, independence, career, and daily functions and impact lives far exceeding the initial diagnosis. Unlike most injuries, these do not resolve with time and reshape how you live, work, and plan for the future, and injury claims must be constructed with that reality in mind.
For over 50 years, Lombardi & Lombardi, P.A. has represented clients facing some of the most serious injuries in New Jersey, securing more than $1 billion in compensation. Our experienced legal team knows how to approach spinal cord injury cases: with careful planning, the right expert support, and a clear understanding of what is at stake over a lifetime.
Cases With Long-Term Costs
Spinal cord injury claims carry high long-term costs, and insurance companies know it. When an injury may require lifelong medical care, rehabilitation, and daily support, insurers and corporate defendants move quickly to limit exposure.
The loss of independence and the level of care required after a spinal cord injury can be extensive and ongoing. That reality drives how these cases are defended – often aggressively and early.
Lombardi & Lombardi, P.A. responds in kind. From the outset, we focus on building a claim that reflects the full scope of your injury, working with the right experts to define your long-term needs and position the case accordingly.

Types of Spinal Cord Injury Cases We Handle
Spinal cord injuries can affect movement, sensation, and daily function in vastly different ways. Some involve structural damage to the spine, while others directly impact the spinal cord and nerve function. We represent clients in a range of injuries, including but not limited to:
- Broken Back: Fractures in the spine that can destabilize the spinal column and risk nerve damage.
- Bulging Disc: Disc displacement that may compress nerves and cause pain, weakness, or limited movement.
- Fractured Vertebrae: Breaks in the spinal bones that can lead to instability or spinal cord involvement.
- Herniated Disc: More severe disc damage that presses on spinal nerves or the cord itself.
- Paraplegia: Paralysis affecting the lower half of the body.
- Quadriplegia: Paralysis affecting all four limbs and the torso.
Each of these injuries carries the potential for long-term or permanent consequences, requiring a legal strategy that accounts for both immediate and future care needs.
