Spinal Cord Injuries

About Spinal Cord Injuries

The Spinal Cord is a vital part of the human body. The nerve center for the body, the Spinal Cord supports numerous functions including movement and sensitivity. When an injury occurs to the Spinal Cord, vital functions of life can be lost in an instant. The ability to walk or eat or the sense of touch can suddenly become impaired or non-existent for victims of Spinal Cord injuries.

Spinal Cord injuries are one of the most severe injuries the body can sustain. While treatment for Spinal Cord injuries has evolved in recent years, victims of Spinal Cord trauma often suffer long-term effects and may never fully recover. The medical care for Spinal Cord injuries can extend for years or even a lifetime and be very costly. When a Spinal Cord injury is caused by someone’s negligence, the victim is entitled to compensation for the devastating effects of that negligence.

Spinal Cord Injuries can occur in a variety of different circumstances:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Trauma
  • Medical negligence
  • Violent crimes
  • Electrocution

Spinal Cord Injuries can occur due to medical malpractice, unsafe environments or the negligence of a car or truck driver. Navigating the laws that pertain to these specific instances requires an extensive knowledge of many different areas of law.

Proof in a Spinal Cord Injury claim varies depending on the type of case.
