Spinal Cord Injuries

Although a spinal cord injury is usually severe enough to render the person paralyzed, there are varying degrees of severity. In some injuries, the victim may be able to keep certain functions working or have some feeling at this level of their body. There are also those who experience an incomplete spinal cord injury where they can retain some function and/or sensation below the point of their spinal cord damage – for instance, a person that experiences a complete spinal cord injury but has an area on his or her spine where he has retained some movement and/or feeling. While these cases can vary greatly in function and severity, no matter what level your injury occurs at, our lawyers will treat you with respect and care as you go through your case. Motor vehicle accidents can be one of the leading causes of spinal cord injuries. All spinal cord injury cases are different.

Spinal cord injuries can leave victims financially vulnerable.
