Los Angeles Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord from a heavy impact or trauma usually from auto accidents or slip and fall.  Spinal cord injury can bring a wide ranging level of pain and dysfunction to your body depending on where in the spinal cord, how extensive, and whether nerve roots are damaged.  Each end of the spectrum for spinal cord injury includes levels of incomplete with no effects on the injured to a complete injury causing bodily paralysis due to completely lost functions of the spinal cord.

Spinal cord injuries affect daily activities in the victim’s life and are very difficult to recover from. Often the treatment involves managing the injury location from further developing along with extensive physical therapy and occupational treatment.

Signs and symptoms
A spinal cord injury can cause pain, numbness or a loss of sensation in the injured location of the spine. The muscles holding the spine may also contract and be out of control or even unresponsive in some severe cases.

What if your injury is incomplete?
Depending on the level of your injury, your spinal cord injury when incomplete may not translate immediately as pain or numbness despite the existence of some damage. Your pain could appear later as a result of further inflammatory damage to your spine. Or your damage, although not apparent, can become a preexisting damage of a future damage to your spine.

In any case, it is important that you get a complete assessment of your injury in your personal injury law suit.  The only way to settle for the maximum extent of your damage received with an insurance company is to understand exactly how extensive your damage is and how it will affect your future life.
