WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A SPINAL CORD INJURY?

Symptoms depend on where the spinal cord is injured and whether the injury is complete or incomplete. In incomplete injuries, victims have some remaining function of their bodies below the level of injury, whereas in complete injuries they have no function below the level of injury.

Spinal cord injuries may result in one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Loss of movement
  • Spasms and exaggerated reflexes
  • Loss of sensation
  • Loss of bladder control
  • Stinging sensation caused by damage to the nerve fibers
  • Difficulty breathing

OUR SPINAL CORD INJURY LAWYERS GET RESULTS FOR BACK INJURY VICTIMS WHEN WE GO TO TRIAL

As experienced trial lawyers, we refuse to accept unfair settlements. We know that insurance companies will attempt to minimize the injury and the settlement offer. We fully investigate every case, bring in the necessary medical and economic experts and prove our cases at trial to ensure our clients get the maximum compensation the law allows.

One of the many tools we have developed over the course of four decades of handling these cases is the “day in the life” video. These videos illustrate to jurors in the clearest possible terms just how dramatically life has changed for a spinal injury victim.
