Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries occur when there is damage to the spinal cord, often resulting from accidents like falls, vehicle crashes, or sports injuries. These injuries can lead to partial or complete loss of sensation and movement below the injury site, significantly impacting quality of life. In personal injury law, individuals affected may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Establishing liability—proving another party’s negligence caused the injury—is crucial for a successful claim. Understanding the legal process is important for those navigating the aftermath of such a serious injury.
