FAQs

When should I contact a spine injury lawyer?

You should contact a spine injury lawyer as soon as possible after your diagnosis. Spinal injuries can be complex and life-altering, and the earlier a Charleston spine injury lawyer gets involved, the better we can protect your rights and build your case.

What does a spinal cord injury attorney do?

A spinal cord injury attorney handles everything from investigating the cause of your injury to calculating the long-term impact on your life. We work with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to pursue full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

How do I find the best spine injury lawyer for my case?

The best spine injury lawyer will have experience with catastrophic injury claims, access to expert witnesses, and a proven record of results. At Rosen Hagood, we’ve earned our reputation as one of Charleston’s most trusted firms for serious injury cases.

Can a spine injury attorney help with long-term care costs?

Yes. A spine injury attorney can seek compensation for both current and future care needs, including rehabilitation, medical equipment, home modifications, and in-home care. Our goal is to ensure your financial security over the long term.

How much does it cost to hire a car injury lawyer?

Most car injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. At Rosen Hagood, we’re transparent about fees and committed to helping injury victims get justice—without upfront costs.

What is the difference between a spinal cord injury lawyer and a spine injury lawyer?

These terms are often used interchangeably. However, a spinal cord injury lawyer typically refers to cases involving damage to the spinal cord itself, which can result in paralysis. A spine injury lawyer may also handle cases involving fractured vertebrae, herniated discs, or chronic back pain.

How do I know if I need the best spine injury attorney or just any personal injury lawyer?

Spinal injury cases are high-stakes and medically complex. Working with the best spine injury attorney means your case will be handled with the experience and precision needed to get maximum results. At Rosen Hagood, we know what’s at stake—and we don’t back down.

What if my injury happened at work or involved a commercial vehicle?

We can help. Our team handles spinal cord injury claims involving car and truck accidents, workplace incidents, and defective products. If negligence caused your injury, a Charleston spinal cord injury attorney can help hold the responsible parties accountable.
