Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition usually caused by automobile accidents, accidental falls, or gunshots. Our Washington , D.C., and Boston spinal cord injury lawyers assist victims experiencing anything from persistent tingling in a limb to complete quadriplegia.

Severity of Spinal Cord Injuries

How much of the body is affected by a spinal cord injury depends on the location of the injury to the nerve bundle that comprises the spinal cord. In general, the higher up the injury is located, the more severe the injury. For example, a cervical or neck injury often results in quadriplegia, whereas a thoracic, or chest-level, injury may result in loss of control of the hips or legs.

A spinal cord injury may also be considered “complete” or “incomplete,” depending on the level of mobility that the patient has in the affected limbs. If the nerves have not been completely damaged, a spinal cord injury victim may have limited movement or feeling in the affected limbs.

Our Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers Can Help

Obviously, a spinal cord injury can have devastating effects on the lifestyle and work ability of a victim. If another party was responsible for the actions leading up to the spinal cord injury, victims should contact our Washington, D.C., or Boston offices.
