Loss of Motor Function/Paralysis/Spinal Cord Injury

If you or a loved one has suffered paralysis or a severe injury to the back, neck or spine, the experienced personal injury attorneys at the De Jong Law Group are here to help. Since 1984, our attorneys have helped victims of medical malpractice or other wrongful contact who have suffered severe injuries as a result of medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, dangerous products and other forms of personal and corporate negligence.

Our attorneys have more than 35 years of combined legal experience. We have obtained numerous multi-million dollar awards on behalf of medical malpractice and other victims. Our firm has experience in cases involving paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. Our case results include:

We Seek Full Compensation for Accident Victims

People who are paralyzed require a lifetime of medical assistance. The costs of surgery, multiple medical procedures and daily care assistants can be astronomical.

At the De Jong Law Group, we aggressively pursue full and fair compensation for victims of medical malpractice and other wrongful conduct. We understand that our clients only have one chance to recover for their injury, so we work diligently to pursue optimal results for each client we serve.

As a result of our experience, meticulous trial preparation and use of knowledgeable experts, we have obtained many successful results on behalf of clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries.

The Firm's Medical Experience

David J. De Jong is a licensed medical doctor. He worked as a doctor before founding our firm in 1984. As a result of his medical expertise, and our extensive experience and success in the prosecution of medical malpractice and other personal injury claims involving spinal cord, and other severe neurologic conditions causing paralysis, we efficiently analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a potential case, then provide sound advice to our clients. If you retain us, we put our decades of legal experience and our professional medical background to work for you in seeking the full and fair compensation the law permits.
