SPINAL CORD ATTORNEY
Many people believe that the most severe injury that a person can suffer is a spinal cord injury. Although medical science has advanced in its treatment of spinal cord injuries, dramatic breakthroughs in improved patient function and diminished disability have not occurred.
In the spectrum of spinal cord injuries, the first injury that I will discuss is a spinal cord bruise. In a spinal cord bruise, the victim may only have a short-term loss of sensation or function. In some cases, the injured person regains full function; in other cases the injured person has permanent deficits.
A more severe injury is a spinal cord injury that leaves a person with paraplegia--or paralysis in the legs. |
That can occur with severe trauma to the lower back.
Quadraplegia is paralysis or loss of use in the arms and legs. That can occur in a severe injury to the neck or mid back.
Motor vehicle collisions, truck collisions, and motorcycle collisions are some of the most common causes of these catastrophic injuries.
I have represented families and people who have suffered from these catastrophic spinal cord injuries. I have experience in trying catastrophic injury cases like this to a jury. If you, a friend, or a family member would like to talk with me about a spinal cord injury case, please call me for a free, no-obligation consultation. |
