Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Spinal cord injuries can cause severe suffering, paralysis, and even death. The cause is generally trauma, or an impact to the spine that breaks or dislocates the vertebrae. The largest number of these injuries occur due to auto accidents, which account for nearly half of all spinal cord injuries.

Questions About Spinal Cord Injury Claims

There are basically two types of spinal cord injuries, complete and partial. In complete spinal cord injuries, there is a loss of sine below the point of loss, with both sides of the body usually affected. This can result in paralysis of all four limbs, quadriplegia, or the diminish half of the body, understood as paraplegia. Victims with partial spinal cord injuries may be able to move one limb or part of the body more than the other or have more feeling on one side of his or her body.
