Confidential Settlement – Spinal Cord Injury

Brady Williams obtained a significant recovery for a man whose life was permanently altered when a cervical epidural steroid injection, a common and generally low-risk pain management procedure, resulted in a spinal cord injury due to the provider’s failure to follow required safety protocols. The evidence established that the injection of contrast dye into the spinal cord was a direct consequence of procedural shortcuts that fell far below the accepted standard of care. The permanent neurological impairment he suffered serves as a sobering reminder of the critical importance of protocol adherence even in routine interventional procedures.
