Consequences of a Spinal Cord Injury

Any type of catastrophic injury to the back can have long-term effects on a person's quality of life. You do not even have to sever the spinal cord to cause a serious spinal cord injury. Some examples of the types of spinal cord injuries our firm handles include:

• Paralysis, quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs), paraplegia (paralysis of both legs), and hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body)
• Nerve damage to the cervical nerves, thoracic nerves, lumbar nerves, or sacral nerve
• Slipped or herniated discs
• Chronic pain
• Loss of bladder and bowel function
• Psychological effects including depression and anxiety

Coping with a Spinal Cord Injury

People suffering from a spinal cord injury will need life-long medical care. For many people, they will need twenty-four hour assistance, frequent medical treatments, adaptation to their homes and vehicles, multiple surgeries, and years of therapy and rehabilitation. It is important to ensure that a settlement or judgment provides you with the compensation you need to cover the cost of long-term care.
