Each year, there are millions of individuals injured in accidents or incidents that are the result of intentional or negligent conduct.

If you or your loved one have been injured in an accident or incident resulting in a spinal cord injury, you need an experienced personal injury litigator to assist you with your claim.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

Our attorneys understand the complex nature of spinal cord injuries. The main function of your spinal cord is to carry signals to and from your body, through the nerves that run up and down your back, to and from your brain. A spinal cord injury is usually the result of a fracture or blunt force that dislocates some of the disks that make up your spine and disrupts the sending of signals. When these injuries occur, you should immediately seek medical treatment to prevent further damage and determine the type of injury. Our attorneys will review your medical records to determine the injuries, potential lifetime or temporary impact, financial ramifications and liability. 

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries may result from many different types of accidents including:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Motor vehicle accidents can range in severity, some being minor in nature, while others are fatal. Motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of spinal cord injuries.
• Slip and Falls: Slip and fall accidents are another common cause for spinal cord injuries. While a slip and fall can occur in many places, it is often a result of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of another.
