Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries occur when there's damage to the spinal cord that disrupts communication between the brain and the body. This disruption can result in loss of movement and sensation below the site of the injury.
Common causes include motor vehicle accidents, falls, acts of violence, and sports injuries. These incidents can lead to partial or complete paralysis, depending on the severity and location of the injury.
The impact a spinal injury has on individuals and families is profound. Physically, it can limit mobility, affect organ function, and require ongoing medical care. Emotionally, it introduces new challenges for both the injured person and their loved ones, leading to stress, anxiety, and a need for support.
Families often must adjust roles and responsibilities, impacting daily life and financial stability. Our team understands these challenges and works to provide effective legal support to help navigate the path forward.
