No-Nonsense Help After An Accident
Burnet Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Legal Help After a Devastating Car, Truck, or Motorcycle Crash in Burnet County
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries in Texas — and some of the most life-altering injuries a person can suffer. A moment of negligence on the road can result in paralysis, permanent disability, and a lifetime of medical challenges.
If you or a loved one has sustained a spinal cord injury in a crash in Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram, or anywhere in Burnet County, the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker is here to help. We fight for victims facing the physical, emotional, and financial toll of catastrophic injuries caused by someone else’s recklessness.
What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when trauma damages the spinal cord or the nerves at the end of the spinal canal. These injuries are typically caused by:
High-impact car accidents
Truck collisions involving semis or heavy commercial vehicles
Motorcycle wrecks
Rollovers, especially in rural areas
Crashes involving ejection from the vehicle
Even “incomplete” spinal injuries can lead to loss of movement, sensation, and motor function. Severe cases may result in partial or complete paralysis, including paraplegia or quadriplegia.
Major Roads Where These Crashes Occur
Spinal cord injuries are tragically common in Burnet County's rural and high-speed areas, including:
US Highway 281
Texas Highway 29
FM 1431
RM 2341
Park Road 4
These routes, often winding or lightly patrolled, create dangerous conditions when reckless or impaired drivers are involved.
The Long-Term Cost of a Spinal Injury
Spinal cord injuries are medically complex and extremely costly. Victims may face:
Emergency and trauma care
Surgeries and hospital stays
Long-term rehabilitation and physical therapy
Medical equipment such as wheelchairs or mobility aids
Home modifications (ramps, lifts, etc.)
Lost income and loss of earning potential
24/7 care or personal attendants
The financial impact can reach hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars over a lifetime — and insurance companies will often do everything they can to minimize your payout.
Your Right to Compensation After a Crash
If another driver’s negligence caused your spinal injury, Texas law allows you to pursue compensation for:
Medical bills (past and future)
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disability and disfigurement
Ongoing care needs
Property damage (if applicable)
At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, we work closely with medical providers, life care planners, and economists to build a comprehensive claim that accounts for your current and future needs.
