An experienced Augusta County spinal cord injury lawyer could help present your case and seek the financial damages to which you are entitled.
What is the Spinal Cord?
The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that run through the spine from the brain to the rest of the body. Its primary function is to carry nerve impulses from the brain that control the functions of the rest of the body, including movement, feeling, blood pressure, and temperature regulation.
This cord is approximately eighteen inches long and extends down to the waist. When it is injured in a traumatic accident, the nerve strands may become bruised, damaged, or even torn, leading to serious side effects.
Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
An SCI is one of the most dangerous injuries a person can suffer. Depending on the type and severity of the damage, the results may be disastrous for a person’s life. Spinal cords do not repair easily, and surgeries on this delicate area of the body can be dangerous.
Damage to the spinal cord can result in loss of mobility, feeling, or function. This often occurs as a result of some type of trauma, although some diseases can also cause harm to the spinal cord. Spinal cord injury is sometimes different than a “broken back,” as the spinal cord can sometimes remain uninjured even when the vertebrae which surround it are damaged or broken.
The effects of an SCI may include the following:
- Loss of physical sensation
- Loss of motor function
- Quadriplegia or paraplegia (paralysis)
- Damage to sympathetic or parasympathetic bodily functions
- Death
These injuries can have a devastating impact on your daily life and well-being. Fortunately, an Augusta County spinal cord injury attorney could help you seek the compensation you need.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Trauma
It typically takes serious trauma to cause damage to the spinal cord, but in the right circumstances, even a relatively minor accident can lead to an SCI. No matter how the spinal cord injury occurs, when it is the fault of another person’s negligence, filing a lawsuit with an Augusta County attorney may provide an avenue to financial recovery.
Common causes of spinal cord injury include the following:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Trip and falls
- Dangerous products
- Workplace accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Medical mistakes
If you were harmed by the negligence of another person or business, you have the right to speak with an attorney to determine whether you have a valid claim.
I have been a client of Mr. Warren since 2003. At that time, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and Mr. Warren represented me for my injuries.
