Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are usually caused by some type of trauma such as a motor vehicle accident, diving accident or a serious fall.

Injuries can range from a herniated disc (disc is pushed into the spinal canal through a tear or rupture and presses on spinal nerves causing severe pain), to paraplegia (paralysis in the lower extremities) to quadriplegia (paralysis of both the upper and lower extremities). Paralysis results from a break in the line of communication between the brain and the muscles due to damage to the spinal cord. The brain continues to send messages to the muscles, but because of damage to the spinal cord, the messages cannot be received.

A severe spinal cord injury can financially ruin a family. Expenses for rehabilitation, rehabilitation devices, wheelchairs, ramps and special transportation vehicles can be enormous.

If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you may wish to consult an attorney who can properly investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident. Even at first, if it appears to you that no one was at fault for the accident, you would be well served to let an experienced attorney make that decision. A thorough investigation may prove otherwise and result in a substantial monetary recovery to help pay the enormous costs involved in a spinal cord injury.
