About this listen
In this episode of Don’t Worry, Do Wheelies, Abbie and Lorie sit down with Kelley Simoneaux, a spinal cord–injured attorney and founder of a nationwide spinal cord injury law firm. Injured in a car accident at just 16 years old due to a defective seatbelt design, Kelley shares how her personal injury case helped change vehicle safety standards—and ultimately shaped her career path.
Kelley walks listeners through her journey from patient to plaintiff, law school to law firm owner, and explains why lived experience matters when navigating legal claims after a spinal cord injury. This conversation highlights product liability, patient advocacy, and why sometimes it takes legal action to force systemic change. An empowering episode for anyone living with a spinal cord injury or supporting someone who is.
