One of the most devastating injuries a person can suffer is a serious spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injuries often occur when a traumatic event causes damage to the cells in the spinal cord or when the nerve tracts are severed that relay signals within the spinal cord. Most commonly, cord injuries include contusions (a bruising of the spinal cord), compressions (pressure put on the spinal cord), lacerations (nerve fibers which are severed or torn), and central cord syndrome (damage to the corticospinal tracts in the cervical region of the spinal cord).
Spinal cord injuries may occur for many reasons, including:
- Workplace accidents
- Electric shocks
- Extreme twisting
- Bullet or stab wounds
- Diving accidents
- Spor1ts injuries
Spinal cord injuries can be severe and in some circumstances fatal. When not fatal, they still significantly affect the quality of life. Rehabilitation can also be a painful, long ordeal, with expensive health care costs and treatment that can last a lifetime. If you or a family member has suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligence of another, we urge you to contact a spinal cord injury attorney. A skilled spinal cord injury lawyer will carefully evaluate your case and explain the legal options available to you at no charge.
Your spinal cord injury lawyer will always endeavor to keep you fully informed and up-to-date on how your case is progressing and respond promptly to all of your calls.
