The mission of our firm is the bedrock for representing each and every client.
At The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm, PLLC, we are more than just attorneys—we are advocates, mentors, and fellow survivors. Kelley Brooks Simoneaux and Josh Basile, two nationally recognized trial attorneys who have personally navigated life after catastrophic injuries, our firm is exclusively committed to representing individuals who have suffered life-changing injuries. We provide dedicated representation and focused consultation to improve the lives of our clients while also giving back—through free mentoring services and donating a portion of our firm’s profits to the spinal cord injury community.
Although we are based in the heart of Washington, DC, our practice spans nationwide, representing clients across the United States.
We are not just a law firm that advocates for individuals with spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries—we live this reality every day. As attorneys who have sustained spinal cord injuries, Kelley and Josh bring a unique understanding to every case. We know firsthand the challenges, resilience, and strength it takes to rebuild after a catastrophic event, and we use that experience to fight for justice on behalf of our clients.
As the only law firm in the country led by attorneys with spinal cord injuries, we stand and wheel apart—not just because of our legal skills, but because we get it. We have been where you are. We know the road ahead. And we are here to help you navigate it. Contact us today to learn how we can help you.
As Our Client, We Commit To:
- Helping you understand your legal rights: We guide you through your rights and advise you on the best course of action for your personal injury claim.
- Handling all the paperwork: Legal procedures can be overwhelming, but we take care of everything, ensuring all documentation is properly completed and filed within applicable deadlines.
- Gathering evidence and investigating your case: We know what evidence matters and how to find it. Our team will conduct thorough investigations to maximize your recovery.
- Building a specialized team for your case: With decades of combined legal experience, we collaborate with top experts and attorneys to ensure your case is strong, well-prepared, and positioned for success against insurance companies and defense attorneys.
- Creating a customized life care plan for your future: A catastrophic injury requires a detailed, individualized life care plan—not a generic template. Many firms rely on boilerplate reports, but we understand that every injury, every need, and every future is different. With our lived experience, we know the true costs of accessibility, medical care, equipment, and long-term support. We work closely with medical and financial experts to develop a comprehensive plan that reflects your unique needs and ensures you have the resources necessary for lifelong independence and security.
- Maximizing damages to properly fund your future: Too often, law firms fail to demand the full and fair compensation needed to cover the true lifetime costs of a catastrophic injury. We do not settle for less. We know the long-term financial impact of spinal cord injuries, from medical expenses and home modifications to lost income and caregiving costs. Our firm fights aggressively to ensure negligent parties are held fully accountable so that you receive the full compensation necessary to protect your future.
- Connecting you with valuable resources: As attorneys who have lived through spinal cord injuries, we have unparalleled knowledge, resources, and connections to help you on your road to recovery.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: We understand insurance tactics and will negotiate aggressively to ensure you receive the best possible settlement.
- Taking your case to trial if necessary: With extensive trial experience, we are always prepared to go to court to fight for you. We will not back down.
- Helping you seek justice: We understand the difficult road ahead because we have lived it. We won’t stop fighting until you have the justice and compensation you deserve.
At The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm, you are not just another case—you are a person with a future that deserves to be protected. Let Kelley and Josh fight for you.
