One moment you're walking into work. Next, you're facing life in a wheelchair.

In Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Chicago, we've seen too many people go through it. A truck doesn’t slow down. A life changes forever.

A spinal cord injury from a truck wreck doesn’t just affect the body. It hits every corner of your life. You might lose your mobility. Your job. Your sense of independence. Tasks that used to take five minutes now take an hour, or require someone else’s help. You’re adjusting to medical equipment, missing paychecks, and wondering how you're going to support your family while fighting through pain every single day.

That’s where we come in.

At Witherite Law Group, we don’t just take on truck wreck cases. We take on the companies that caused them. We know the playbook they use. We know the pressure they apply. And we push back, hard. 

Recently we fought to recover $18.85 million for a case involving an incomplete quadriplegic injury. If you want results, we’re here to get you what you deserve. 

You didn’t ask for this. You didn’t cause this wreck. And you’re not about to be pushed to the side. Our attorneys and specialized teams are here to fight for you. 

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury happens when the spinal cord is damaged enough to interfere with movement or sensation. When you're hit by a commercial truck, the force involved is often enough to cause permanent, life-altering damage to the spine. These aren’t minor back injuries. They are catastrophic—and they demand a legal team that understands that from day one.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries We See After Truck Wrecks

Every injury is different, but these are the ones we most often handle:

  • Complete Spinal Cord Injury: No feeling, no movement below the injury site
  • Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Some function or sensation remains, but it’s limited
  • Paraplegia: Paralysis below the waist; often requires a wheelchair and full-time care
  • Tetraplegia (Quadriplegia): Paralysis in both arms and legs; affects every part of daily life

We work with doctors, therapists, and life care planners to understand the full impact of these injuries. Then we build a case that makes sure the trucking company has to understand it too.

Why You Need a Legal Team With Expertise in Truck Wreck Spinal Injuries

Truck wrecks and spinal cord injuries are a serious combination. These cases are medically complex. Legally aggressive. And emotionally exhausting. You don’t need just any lawyer. You need a team that knows how to go toe-to-toe with the biggest trucking carriers in the country.

Witherite Law Group brings:

  • A dedicated Truck Wreck Litigation Department
  • In-house investigators ready to move within hours of the wreck
  • Access to top medical experts and spinal injury specialists
  • Teams trained to handle high-stakes, high-value claims
  • The Wheels of Justice program to help you get to medical appointments and legal meetings

What Compensation Can You Seek After a Spinal Cord Injury?

You’re not just facing hospital bills. You’re facing a future that may include:

  • Ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Wheelchair or mobility equipment
  • Home and vehicle modifications
  • Permanent loss of income
  • Pain, trauma, and emotional loss

And the trucking company’s insurance adjusters? They’re trained to downplay every one of those costs.

We don’t let that happen. At Witherite Law Group, we put your entire story on the table—and we don’t settle for less than what it’s worth.

Time Is Running Out: Act Fast to Protect Your Rights

Every state has a time limit for filing these claims. Miss it, and you may lose the chance to recover anything. Even worse, evidence disappears fast after a truck wreck. Witnesses move. Records get “lost.” That’s why you need a legal team that moves quickly—not just when it’s convenient, but when it counts.
