Whether you will walk again or not depends on the severity of the damage and the location of the damage to your spinal cord. The chances of spinal cord injury victims walking again are better than they were in years past because of advances in the medical field. Whether you walk again can also depend on how much work you are willing to do in physical therapy, based on your chances (whether large or slim) of recovering enough to regain your ability to walk. In some cases, even someone with a slim chance of walking again can walk, though often not as easily as they did before the injury. In other cases, those whom doctors expect to walk again never can, whether because of the type and amount of therapy they participate in, or because doctors incorrectly predicted their chances of walking again.
